The parents, the uncle and the aunt of a Bosnian Muslim teenager who violently beat and shaved her in Besançon, because she was dating a Christian of Serbian origin, “will be taken back to the border because they have nothing to do on national soil “, assured Sunday Gerald Darmanin.
“As soon as the legal proceedings are over, they will be taken back to the border because they have nothing to do on national soil,” tweeted the Minister of the Interior. The entourage of Mr. Darmanin specified that the four implicated will be affected by this deportation measure.
The parents of the 17-year-old girl, her uncle and her aunt were placed under judicial supervision on Thursday while awaiting trial in the fall before the Besançon criminal court for “violence against a minor in the presence of minors and in a meeting “. They had been arrested Monday by the policee, alerted by the teenager’s boyfriend, after having beaten her and cut her hair.
Unsuccessful in December
Her parents, who arrived from Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2017, did not accept that she wanted to marry her boyfriend, a Christian Serbian living in the same building in Besançon. After having been definitively rejected of the right to asylum in December 2019, the parents of the teenager were subject to an obligation to leave French territory, said the secretary general of the prefecture of Doubs, Jean-Philippe Setbon.
Parents of five children, they then applied for assisted voluntary return, but the procedure had stopped with the coronavirus epidemic and the closure of the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina. “We will have to wait for the judgment to negotiate a removal,” added Mr. Setbon, specifying that the young girl, under judicial protection in a suitable structure, will not be affected by this measure. The uncle and aunt, who arrived in France in 2016, benefit from a refugee status which could be withdrawn from them “given their involvement, according to the judgment”, further warned Mr. Setbon.
Last Monday, after a four-day runaway, the two teenagers went to the girl’s family home accompanied by the boy’s parents. But the situation quickly escalated. According to the statements of the victim, who suffered in particular from a broken rib and numerous bruises, it was his uncle, at the request of his father, who clipped him and cut his long hair.
