American Defectors Struggle in Sweden
In Stockholm, Rev. Thomas Lee Hayes helps 327 U S defectors adapt while facing job, housing, and legal uncertainties. He notes Swedish employers fear harming ties with U S firms if they hire defectors, and debates whether defectors deserve political asylum or refugee status. He emphasizes need for practical aid and continued advocacy for the defectors’ futures.
