Mayotte detention centre: "this infringement of regular French law is a disgrace to the Republic"
[ 2008-12-24 ] |
We know that the centre in Mayotte is a place devoid of rights, or at least an area where rules are 'differentiated' [an immigration law passed in July 2004 placed Mayotte under exceptional circumstances]. The problem is, there's nobody fighting against the authority of the prefect, which usually returns stowaways to the border without even giving them chance to ask for asylum. Unlike in France, [where, if you are issued with an eviction order, you can appeal it, which would then postpone the eviction until a final decision was made], in Mayotte, being sent back to the border gives you no chance to appeal. If a stowaway does manage to officially seek asylum, the case is done by video link with OFPRA [the French office of the protection of refugees and asylum seekers]. They're also, theoretically, allowed to appeal OFPRA's decision, but in practice it never happens because they'd have to be flown to France to be judged, and that's too expensive. |
