The 10-year-old child, educated since October in the Fernand-Labori school in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, has been the subject for several weeks of a transfer order to Italy.

Because his parents had first applied for refugee status there before seeking asylum in France, they are administratively dependent on it under the European “

Dublin

regulation

.

Unless this decision is canceled by the administrative court of Paris, where the parents have filed an appeal, the expulsion could be executed on Thursday.

We are united, because it is inhuman as a situation.

She is well at school, in four months she has made great progress.

She's on and an eviction would break it all

“, Indignant Renaud Heinich, his teacher, at the origin of the mobilization which now brings together many elected officials.

She had the strength to ask for help,

" he continues under the banner "

No to the expulsion of our students,

" posted on the establishment.

One evening when I was leaving school, she stopped me and said: My parents received a letter from the police saying that we must go to Italy,

” recalls the teacher.

She told us that she would rather stay here alone than go to Italy.

She feels at ease here, we speak French, not Italian

”, explains to AFP Fatimate's father, Ibrahim Sangare, who fears being sent back to Ivory Coast, whom he claims to have fled so that her daughter escapes excision.

He maintains "

hope

", especially thanks to the determination of his daughter: "

It takes more than an hour to come to school, but she was never discouraged.

She wakes up at 6 am to tell us to take her away,

”he explains.

Faced with the imminence of the expulsion, many elected officials wrote to the Paris police headquarters or to the Ministry of the Interior, asking for the measure to be canceled.

This case shows "

the absurdity of these regulations which do not take into account the lives of people

", denounced on the spot Ian Brossat, elected of the XVIIIe arrondissement and deputy of the mayor of Paris in charge of the reception of the refugees.

The school's educational community assures us that it will do “

everything possible

” to keep its schoolgirl.
