This Friday, January 7, in front of the La Colombière school in Dijon (Côte-d’Or), a rally will be held to support a family of Albanian refugees. This demonstration comes after a new eviction attempt carried out on Thursday, January 6 by the police.
A rally in support of the Memalla family will be held this Friday January 7 at 16, in front of the La Colombière school in Dijon. These Albanian refugees are concerned by an obligation to leave French territory, the legality of which has been confirmed by the administrative court of Dijon.
This rally comes after a police operation carried out Thursday, January 6. At six o’clock in the morning, the police arrived at the door of the family, domiciled in a Dijon home. The objective: the expulsion of these refugees, present for three years on French territory.
During the operation, the father, blind and with an amputated arm, tried to get out of the window. He was immediately taken care of by the firefighters. The mother is visually impaired and has cancer, for which a treatment protocol is planned until 2024.
The family had already applied for asylum in 2019, but it was refused. The associations have since requested a humanitarian residence permit for the parents, both severely disabled, and their 11-year-old son Rizart, educated at the La Colombière school in Dijon.
This is not the first attempt to deport the family. At the end of September 2021, the child and his parents were taken to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, where they had refused to board the plane.
