FRENCH COURT ANNULS DECISION FOR ARMENIAN FAMILY'S ARREST
02:13, 14.08.2014
A French administrative court has annulled the decision of the
administrative arrest of the Armenian Babayan family, who was living
illegally in France.
The court, however, denied the family's request to return to France.
According to L'Alsace daily of France, the court accepted that the head
of the respective department had made a "legal error" by ordering an
administrative arrest without considering the fact that the Armenian
couple has seven-year-old and seven-month-old children.
After more than twenty hours of administrative arrest, the Babayan
family was deported to Armenia.
The attorney for the family welcomed the court's decision.
"I will ask the administration so that the family can return to
France," she added.
The Babayan family was arrested on August 5, violently deported from
France on the next day, and their arrest was recorded on video by the
resident of a shelter for asylum seekers. Even though the family's
lawyer had lodged a complaint, the family was transferred to the
Paris airport to be sent to Armenia.
