'Denmark is waging psychological war': Trauma for Syrian refugees facing controversial deportation
Asmaa al-Natoor never thought she would be comparing her adopted homeland of Denmark to her native Syria from which she fled.

"But the Danish government is waging a psychological war.” Ms al-Natoor is one of dozens of Syrian refugees who have been told their temporary residency in the seemingly progressive haven of Denmark has been revoked. Denmark ruled Syria safe for return last month, the first country in Europe to do so. Ms al-Natoor was encouraged to speak up after a fellow Syrian refugee, 61-year-old Akram Bathish, died of a heart attack just weeks after receiving notice from the immigration services.
