Nigerian family's deportation case to be heard on Monday
Friday, June 15, 2007
The last bid application by lawyers for a six-year-old autistic boy along with his twin sister and mother will be heard on Monday.
Great Agbonlahor, his sister Melissa and his mother Olivia will be presenting themselves at the Garda National Immigration Bureau this afternoon, but the State has been asked to hold off on their deportation pending the outcome of next week's hearing.
Lawyers for the Agbonlahors told the court that Great had been diagnosed with autism in December last year and, despite the High Court's rejection of their bid to overturn an order for their deportation earlier this year, they are making an application under the EU subsidiary protection scheme.
The scheme allows those who have been refused refugee status to apply for the protection on humanitarian grounds.
Olivia has always said if her son was deported, he would receive no treatment for his condition and be regarded as possessed by evil spirits.
Mr Justice Eamon de Valera made no order, but directed that the case be heard on Monday, when the State will also be represented.
