Finland’s Immigration Service has resumed processing asylum applications from Iranian nationals after suspending decision-making earlier this year. The pause began in February, when Migri said the security situation in Iran was too uncertain to continue normal case handling.

The decision affects applications that had been on hold while the service monitored conditions in the country. Yle News reported the change on Wednesday, but no further details were given about how many cases are involved or whether the resumption applies to all pending applications immediately.
