There is a small Mandaean community in Sweden, only numbering around 5,000 people. This makes the Swedish Mandaean community about the size of the Mandaean community in Iraq, the homeland of the Mandaean people.[1] Several thousand of the Swedish Mandaeans were granted asylum status as refugees from persecution in Iraq and Syria.[2]
