It doesn’t look like a humanitarian solution: A 30-year-old pregnant Palestinian woman has been taken last week in Passau, Germany. She sits in Eichstätt, Germany in the deportation prison. Her preschool-age son was left alone in Passau. He was, as the “Passauer Neue Presse” and the “Donau Kurier” consistently report that without his parents in an orphanage. After all, his old nursery, he is allowed to visit. The father is immersed. The family – an appointment is not clear – to Latvia to be deported.
The Bavarian refugee Council is outraged: “The case shows an example of the absurdity of European rules on Jurisdiction, which allowed it to push refugees against their will across Europe,” said its representative Stephan Dünnwald to the daily mirror. An example of the case standing, but also for the “ruthlessness of the lower Bavarian authorities, and such regulations, regardless of the good Integration of the family rabidly enforce”. Protection of the family or child are obviously foreign words for the foreigners authority.
about three years Ago, the Palestinian woman from Syria had fled. In Passau, she lived with her husband and son in a home for asylum seekers. “The small family had settled in well in their new home,” the “Donau Kurier”. However, the family is to be deported to Latvia, you had been assured by the Baltic country of asylum, before they traveled to Germany.
Meanwhile, the Attempts to intervene politically and the Bavarian Ministry of the interior and to the deportation in sight. “Almost daily a new case of brutal deportation practice,” commented Per asylum on Facebook.

Demonstration and Petition
An Alliance in Passau plans for this coming Wednesday, a Demonstration of order. “We appeal to in this particular case, to have grace in the applicable asylum law, and to make a decision on the basis of Christian and humanitarian values”, – stated in the call. The decision, the “integration of willing, open-minded and educated” family to deport was disproportionate, the Palestinian woman in a mentally unstable condition. In addition, her husband had already got a commitment for a permanent position in Passau, the six-year-old son speak fluent English and be integrated in the Kindergarten. “Deportation would mean for both the child as well as mother and father a more traumatizing experience,” it says.
the arguments, it was started from Passau asylum-Café on change.org a Petition. Addressees in the government of lower Bavaria and the Bavarian interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU). Wolfgang Bittlmayer from the Eichstätter action Alliance against deportation, said that the enforcement of an administrative act will be made by the immigration authorities is higher than fundamental rights and human rights conventions.
Green: “it bleeds the heart”
The Bavarian Green party chief Catherine Schulze told the daily mirror: “Since the heart bleeds! It is a shame that the CSU-Free-voters-the state government is tearing families apart, and a child who already has a traumatizing escape behind, the mother separates.”
the deportation of Pregnant women and the separation of families in the context of deportations would be rejected by the Greens, emphasizing the inner politician. “The right of the family unit, which is after all enshrined in the basic law, should also apply to refugees and protection seekers!”
prison for shooting of children, not responsible
Legally insist in the thing, with little prospect of refugee helpers. The prison in Eichstätt for the reception of children is neither responsible nor established. The “Donau Kurier” quoted a spokesman for the Bavarian interior Ministry with the words, that in the cases where families are affected by immigration detention, in principle, one of the parents to stay part to care for the children on a walk. “Nevertheless, it can happen in rare and exceptional cases, a temporary separation of the children can not be avoided by the parents.”
The charge of the case, the Central foreigners ‘ authority in lower Bavaria, leaving The family to be brought together – at the airport
issues of the daily mirror to the case, on Thursday first, unanswered.
According to the “Donau Kurier” to the authority of the family itself to blame for the situation: As a parent and a child had already been before your entry to Germany in the EU member state of Latvia, protection assured, the foreigners authority a statutory duty, the obligation to leave the country to enforce. And: “The responsibility for the temporary separation of parent and child rests solely with the parents.” If you did not leave the country and the father would not be submerged, it would not come even to separation.
