Sweden Introduces New Border Controls to Halt Refugees

HeadlineNov 12, 2015

Sweden has introduced new border controls as refugees from Syria, Iraq and elsewhere seek to enter the country. Nearly 200,000 people are expected to arrive in Sweden this year—a higher number per capita than any other EU country. Meanwhile, Slovenian soldiers began erecting a barbed wire fence near the border with Croatia in a bid to stop the flow of refugees. And 14 refugees, including seven children, drowned off the Turkish coast as they attempted to reach Greece.
