Swedish dentist was fired and lost his home after examining migrant ‘children’ and revealing that 80% were actually adults<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bernt Herlitz made the warnings about immigration among asylum seekers 10 years ago – leading to his quick termination and loss of his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herlitz, worked for a public dental clinic in Gotland, Sweden. He conducted routine checkups on unaccompanied migrant minors in 2016 during Europe’s migration surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on wisdom tooth development, he estimated that a significant portion of the migrants, claiming to be under 18, were in fact grown adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reported his findings to Sweden’s Migration Board, believing it was his duty to flag potential abuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of being praised, Herlitz was immediately suspended, investigated, and eventually terminated for violating patient confidentiality laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herlitz fought back against what he said was retaliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial victory in a 2017 district court ruling, which awarded him modest damages for unfair termination, saying that his actions stemmed from a sense of civic responsibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was reversed by Sweden’s Labor Court in 2018, which sided with his employer, ordering Herlitz to pay for legal fees totaling around $54,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herlitz lost everything, almost went bankrupt and was forced to move out of Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
