A Swedish college student temporarily halted the deportation of an Afghan refugee by refusing to sit down in an airplane during a bold stunt that she livestreamed on Facebook.

Elin Ersson went live Monday from Göteborg Landvetter Airport after she and other activists bought plane tickets to Turkey when they learned the 52-year-old asylum seeker was about to be deported, according to the Guardian, which cited Swedish press reports.

Ersson, 21, a student at Gothenberg University, refused to take a seat — stopping the plane from being able to take off.

“I’m not going to sit down until this person is off the plane,” she says in the 14-minute video that’s racked up 2.5 million views. “Because he will most likely get killed if he [stays] on this plane.”

A flight attendant tries to get Ersson to stop filming the ordeal but she doesn’t comply.

“I’m doing what I can to save a person’s life,” she explains. “As long as a person is standing up, the pilot cannot take off. All I want to do is stop the deportation and then I will comply with the rules here. This is all perfectly legal and I have not committed a crime.”

Ersson drew the ire of impatient passengers, including one English man who snatches her cellphone after complaining, “What about all these children that you — you — are frightening?”

She shoots back, “What is more important, a life, or your time? … I want him to get off the plane because he is not safe in Afghanistan. I am trying to change my country’s rules, I don’t like them. It is not right to send people to hell.”

The emotional student got a boost from at least one Turkish passenger, who tells her, “We are with you” and causing her to burst into tears.

The Afghan man is eventually escorted off the plane, prompting the cabin to burst into applause. Ersson leaves, too.

Swedavia, the company that runs Landvetter airport, confirmed that an Afghan refugee and three security personnel exited the plane, according to the Guardian.

But despite Ersson believing she hadn’t broken any laws, Swedish police said that refusing to obey a pilot’s orders is punishable with fines or up to six months in jail, Germany’s DW News reported. It’s unclear if she will be charged.

The news site said the Afghan man, who was supposed to board a plane to his native country after landing in Istanbul, was in custody and would be deported at a later date.
