Peter Ekweri, a Ugandan who traveled to Sweden from Sudan in 1993, said the Swedish Aliens Appeals Board, part of the now defunct Migration Board, determined he was from Ghana and deported him to the West African country with 10 other refugees, The Local reported Monday. Advertisement Ekweri told Sveriges Television's "Rapport" news program he was imprisoned after arriving in Ghana. "They locked me up and tortured me. The other prisoners harassed me continually," he said. The lawsuit, filed in Migration Court, claims a police inspector guaranteed Ekweri he would be provided with transportation out of Ghana if he proved he was not from the country, but no one ever followed through on the promise.
