   Stockholm Attack Victim Was Psychiatrist ‘Committed to Helping Asylum   
   Seekers’ Facing Deportation   
      
   A Belgian psychologist and mother to an 18-month-old son, who worked with   
   asylum seekers facing deportation, has been named as the first victim of last   
   week’s terror attack in Stockholm.    
   Maïlys Dereymaeker, 31, had been waiting for friends on Friday afternoon when   
   failed asylum seeker Rakhmat Akhmat Akilov ploughed a truck into crowds in   
   what is thought to be an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack.   
      
   A keen musician from the small town of Lembeek near Brussels, Belgium,   
   Dereymaeker was the first to be hit by the vehicle and died instantly at the   
   scene, local media reports.   
      
   The mother-of-one was “very committed to helping asylum seekers” according   
   to daily newspaper La Dernière Heure. A former psychologist, working in   
   detention centres for Belgium’s Immigration Office, Dereymaeker often helped   
   illegal immigrants like    
   her alleged killer whose asylum claim was rejected in Sweden last year.   
      
   Belgium’s Het Nieuwsblad reports that Dereymaeker was “always seeking   
   meetings” with illegal migrants in detention, stating a desire to understand   
   them better and to “build bridges”.   
      
   “It’s difficult for me to talk about her death,” a friend told local   
   media. “She played the flute and taught music to children.”   
      
   Members of the orchestra were distraught at the news of her death, describing   
   the 31-year-old as “really positive about life” and telling media that she   
   was “always smiling”.   
      
   Police chief Erik Nord called for Sweden to deport migrants who vocalise   
   support for “violent extremism” when it emerged that the perpetrator of   
   the deadly truck attack had posted Islamic State propaganda on Facebook and   
   ‘liked’ pictures of    
   casualties after the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon in 2013.   
      
   But Justice Minister Morgan Johansson slapped down the suggestion and demanded   
   the police chief “explain himself”.   
      
   Defending the right of extremists to stay in Sweden, the Social Democratic   
   party politician pointed to the nation’s “freedom of speech”, but added   
   that this doesn’t include “hate speech”.   
      
   Johansson also warned that migrants could risk “persecution” in their   
   homelands, if they were deported.
