The world could use some heroes right about now. Recently, a student activist from Sweden gained worldwide attention when she refused to take her seat on a flight from Sweden to Turkey.
Now, that might not seem like such a big deal, but wait until you hear the reason why. A 52-year-old man on her flight was being deported from Sweden and was to ultimately end up back in his native Afghanistan after the stop in Turkey. Errson live streamed her protest on Facebook for the whole world to see.
Errson’s actions paid off, as the man was eventually escorted off the plane by Swedish authorities.
Errson has been working with refugees from Afghanistan for the past year. She said, “I hope that people start questioning how their country treats refugees. We need to start seeing the people whose lives our immigration [policies] are destroying.”
Many are calling Errson a hero.
