AlHijjah 16, 1436, September 30, 2015, SPA -- Finland on Wednesday said it has suspended its decision-making on Iraqi and Somali asylum claims due to an ongoing assessment of the security situation in the two countries, Reuters reported. The Finnish Immigration Service said in a statement that it may change its guidelines for granting people asylum after the assessment is completed within a couple of weeks. Around 17,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Finland this year, with 69 percent of them having come from Iraq and 10 percent from Somalia.
