Ann Linde, former Minister of MFA of Sweden, defends officials wearing headscarves in Iran
First Appeal to the MFA of Sweden December 1st, 2019
EXCERPTS:
To:
Ms. Ann Linde
Minister of Foreign Affairs, MFA SWEDEN
I continued reaching out for help, and in December 2019, I sent an Appeal to Ms. Ann Linde, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Sweden, hoping that my children, who are Swedish citizens, should, therefore, be protected.
This was what I was expecting, reading how other countries act to protect their citizens in similar situations.
I was completely wrong! Unfortunately, Sweden did not show any proper interest in my case, and I, as a citizen of Sweden, did not feel supported or helped by the Swedish authorities. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignored my Appeal, and they gave me a very poor answer in the name of “Neutrality” without reacting to the fact that two Swedish citizens (my daughters) had been abducted from Sweden and that they had been technically missing since 2017-04-18.
At a minimum, I would expect the Kingdom of Sweden to continuously follow up on the whereabouts of its own citizens who are being illegally held abroad against their own will and/or due to their minor/young age (unable to resist their own abduction).

The reality shows that despite any formal international agreements or signatures, many countries (signatories) still do not really worry about the Hague Convention and do not take it seriously at all. In my case, Sweden gave Belarus the right to do so because of the infinite follow-up and irresponsible and incompetent handling of my case! Sweden acted only as a formal paper pusher and nothing else!
