One, three and a half years, is Ivorian, the other six, French. Both have spent several nights without their parents in the waiting area at Roissy, under the authority of the police, resulting in the opening of investigations by the Human Rights Defender and development of the interior ministry.
On Friday, Bernard Cazeneuve gave “instructions” to ensure that “audits are conducted in a very short time, especially when it comes to young children “. This has been the case for either Andreane, age 6, who spent four days this week in the waiting area for individuals pending (ZAPI) nor for Fanta, 3 years and nine months, placed in five days same places.
In the airport building, except for legal status to undocumented migrants not allowed in France, children are welcomed by the staff of the Red Cross trained says the Ministry. Both girls have also benefited from the appointment of an administrator to oversee their interests in accordance with the law.
However, in both cases, the Defender of Rights, Jacques Toubon, has opened an investigation. For Fanta, he believes that “his restraint seems abnormal” . For Andreane, he decided to enter as soon as he got wind of his misadventure.
On Saturday, this child, who lives with his grandmother in Cameroon and had a holiday in France where his mother, landed at Roissy. Instead of finding her parents, she is placed Zapi, the border police (PAF) holding that the photo of his passport, which she is younger than a year, is not resemblance.
It was not until Tuesday that a judge of freedoms and detention (JLD) is the release, believing that “all the facts of the matter” contradicts the police version of a passport usurped. Andreane recognized his mother at the airport as the court, and was able to appoint his former teacher and classmates on a photo, said the judgment.
“One feels more French ‘
“One feels more French and it seems that it can happen to anyone of foreign origin” , is indignant mom of Andréane Stephanie Ngatcha. She herself was born in France, said he would like his own mother, a national, French
Fanta situation is more complex. It came with a false passport, bought in Cote -d’Ivoire by his father. Himself in an irregular situation, said he done so “to prevent it being circumcised” . Doumbia Mohammed claims to have sought asylum for her. The police placed Zapi because they had doubts about the relationship between them.
The administrator quickly found “obvious emotional ties” with child, but still wanted to ensure that the girl had not, for example, was torn from her family Ivorian. “Verify the identity of a child, ascertain the link that unites with the person with whom he is traveling or who is waiting at the airport, is to protect the” the ministry said on Friday.
child “has no place in a waiting area” , pleads Laure Palun of Anafé, the association that defends Migrants in detention. According to the PAF, 342 unaccompanied minors – or declaring such – were placed in the waiting area at Roissy in 2013. Only thirty of them were under 13. On Twitter, the first Vice-President (PS) of the Regional Council of Île-de-France, Marie-Pierre de La Gontrie, requested that the inspection of the Interior Ministry is entered.
“In light of these new incidents” , the Defender of Rights advocates once again the ban on the entire French territory of custodial measures for migrant children.
Francois Hollande had promised during his campaign, regarding the administrative detention centers (CRAs) but even for these centers, the practice has continued: three Kosovar children, 7 years, 4 years and 19 months, are currently placed with their parents CRA Mesnil-Amelot.
