STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 7 (UPI) -- A Swedish court ruled to allow a Cambodian man to change his Swedish Tax Agency records to reflect his true age, 12 years older than the records indicate.
The man, who was brought to Sweden by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees after his release from a Cambodian military prison, told the court he gave the agency false information -- a birth date of Jan. 1, 1960, to make it more difficult for Cambodian authorities to track him down, The Local reported Monday.
However, he told the administrative court of appeal that he now feels secure enough after 10 years in Sweden to give authorities his true birthday, Aug. 12, 1947.
