Missing asylum children: – I don’t want to put into words what I believe (NRK “Politisk kvarter”)
Over 800 asylum-seeking children have disappeared since 2015. Of these, 400 are still reported missing, informs NRK journalist Silje Rognsvåg. Most of the children are from Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea and Somalia. Most are over 15 – some are under. – Little has been done to find them. In addition, the Norwegian Police Directorate has itself pointed out that in several cases insufficient police work has been carried out.
Deputy chairman of KrF Dag Inge Ulstein reacts strongly.
– When there are Norwegian children who disappear, a helicopter with a heat-seeking camera is deployed and the search is carried out with manguards. I don’t want to put into words what I believe. As the president of the Norwegian Lawyers’ Association says: If there had not been asylum in front of that child – then neither the police, the Ministry of Justice nor us politicians would have sat as quietly as we do. I’m afraid it’s about those children not being worth as much. It feels incredibly painful and wrong.
– This is a problem that goes back many years and through several different governments. For our government, it is important to show that we have taken action and are still working on measures, says State Secretary Even Eriksen (Ap) in the Department of Justice. He refers, among other things, to the fact that in December 2022 the Directorate of Police was asked to obtain information from the police districts about the kind of handling they do in the so-called collection cases.
– At New Year’s this year, a working group was set up with the UDI, the Directorate for Children and Families, the Norwegian Agency for Children and Families to look at the purpose, routines and shortcomings. They then came up with proposals for improvements to notification routines at the police. And now this autumn, the police’s own routines in collective cases are being revised, with a particular focus on unaccompanied minor asylum seekers, he says.
– According to a report from NTNUI, the majority of those who have gone missing have presumably left voluntarily after having their asylum application rejected and are now staying in third countries in Europe where they probably live well-functioning lives, he says. Listen to the broadcast here
