Elin Ersson

A Swedish college student stopped an Afghan asylum seeker's deportation by standing alone in the aisle of plane while live-streaming her protest. As reported by The Washington Post, when Elin Ersson learned that a Afghan man in his twenties would be deported from Sweden, she intentionally bought a ticket for the same flight. Although that man was reportedly placed on a different flight, an older man in his fifties was being deported to Afghanistan via Ersson's chosen flight.

"I'm trying to change my country's rules,"  Ersson responds. "It's not right to send people to hell.""We are with you," one Turkish man said in the video. A soccer team also stood up in the back of plane in solidarity with her protest. "I don't know if they're trying to listen to what I'm saying, but as long as they are standing, this plane is not allowed to go," she says again.
