Over a dozen of Bashar al-Assad's militiamen live in Sweden
Several men from militia groups loyal to Syria's former dictator Bashar al-Assad are currently living in Sweden, according to Swedish Radio's investigative programme Kaliber. They have been identified with the help of Swedish police investigations, social media and testimonies from the militias' victims. One man, who lives in a small town in Sweden, is known in Damascus as a dangerous leader of the militia. He is accused of kidnapping people and demanding money from their families. When contacted by Kaliber, he denies the allegations.
