Swedish asylum policy for U.S. deserters debated in Stockholm
Reverend Thomas Lee Hayes helps about 327 American servicemen who defected to Sweden face housing work and integration issues. He questions Sweden's refusal to grant political asylum noting humanitarian reasons but argues many defectors wish to return to the United States.
