STORYLINE:
Residents at a refugee shelter in Sweden on Thursday spoke of their fears over the government's announcement that it could deport thousands of refugees in the coming years.
Germany and Sweden were the top destinations for asylum-seekers in Europe last year.
Interior Minister Anders Ygeman earlier told the Dagens Industri newspaper that Sweden could deport between 60,000 and 80,000 asylum-seekers in the coming years.
Ygeman had said that since about 45 percent of asylum applications were currently rejected, the country must get ready to send back tens of thousands of the 163,000 who sought shelter in Sweden last year.
