Domestic. Afghan Wahidullah Mohammadullah, 22, suddenly attacked a man with 30 stab wounds – one of which went through one eye. But now he avoids deportation for the attempted murder, because the district court considers that he risks being exposed to homophobia in his home country.

The attack took place on 21 February this year in Växjö municipality.

The victim, a Swedish man, had a sexual relationship with Wahidullah Mohammadullah and they slept in the same bed.

However, the relationship deteriorated and the day before the incident, ie Saturday 20 February, the man told Wahid that he would go home. The Afghan seemed to accept this and he packed his things.

In the evening, the man watched the Melodifestivalen and finally went to bed. However, he woke up when Wahid sat over him and handed out fist blows and 32 stab wounds. A blow went right into the eye. Another went from the eyebrow down.

After all, the man managed to push away the Afghan, who then fled. The man survived but had to have surgery on one eye, among other things. He claims today to suffer from “terrible pain” and can not raise his arms to put on a shirt or tie his shoes.

Växjö District Court has now sentenced Wahidullah Mohammadullah to 12 years in prison for attempted murder . However, this actually means 8 years in prison with the Swedish system for two-thirds release.

The prosecutor had demanded that Mohammadullah – who, like many other Afghan men, claims to have been born in January 1999 – be deported from Sweden after serving his sentence. He was granted a permanent residence permit in Sweden on 1 August 2014 due to a connection to his mother who had previously been granted a residence permit.

In a statement, however, the Swedish Migration Board writes that “homosexuality is surrounded by stigma in Afghanistan” and that sexual acts between persons of the same sex are illegal (if both parties are adults).

Växjö District Court uses this opinion to reject the prosecutor's request for deportation.

“In light of what has emerged on Wahidullah Mohammadullah and on the situation of gay men in Afghanistan, there are therefore no grounds for granting the request for deportation “, it says in the judgment.

According to the court, it can be” assumed that this impediment to enforcement will last for time and thus also at the time when the expulsion decision is to be enforced “.
