.....is to be deported to Russia.
"Maria Amelie", age 25, fled from Caucasus with her parents when she was 12, during the ethnic cleansing of the Chechen people. She came to Norway four years later, at age 16. She has lived these past 8 years in hiding from the Norwegian government, as a paperless immigrant without any rights or protections. She has no right to work, no right to education, no right to a personal doctor, etc etc.
Yet against all odds, she has prospered. She has a masters degree from our second best university, she works for free as a coordinator on two of our biggest music festivals, she has a Norwwegian boyfriend, she speaks flawless norwegian.
And she made a fatal mistake. She entered the public debate as an author to give a voice to the thousands of paperless immigrants in our country, those who are without a doubt the lowest of the low. Her book was an instant best-seller. Her chronicle in Norways leading newspaper sparked immense debate.
And now she is punished.
To disgrace our society even more, the criminal police officers picked a truly shameful location for her arrest: just after giving a lecture at the Nansen School. Nansen is one of the most famous Norwegians and a true humanitarian. And what is the reason for his fame? His unwavering support for refugees. His greatest feat was helping half a million refugees from WW1 find their way home. He founded lots of organizations to help refugees. He dedicated his life to get nations to treat refugees with respect and decency.
And outside the school named in his honour, the justice departments armed thugs arrested a refugee and will destroy her life.
