Nardine, 21, describes her life after deportation to Egypt

21-year-old Nardine has been forced to leave Sweden and now lives in hiding in Alexandria. She describes her fear as a lone Christian woman without a hijab.

Nardine, 21, sits in a small room in Alexandria with five security locks on the door. She sleeps with the lights on and barely dares to go out on the streets as a lone woman without a hijab.

She left Sweden a week ago after living there for four years. Nardine had hoped to study to become a dentist but was deported despite the government's promises of a safety valve for teenagers.

On the same day she flew out, party leaders met in a televised debate in Stockholm. Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar highlighted her case and called it a deportation policy.

Migration Minister Johan Forssell later announced that he wants to find a solution also for those already deported. However, Nardine's network does not dare to hope too much.
