Switzerland expels Kosovar, that's why

Cumrije A., she is the protagonist in the next confession to citizens of foreign citizenship who, due to their long-term dependence on social aid, are punished with the release of Switzerland. Under the most recent judicial decision, she must return to Kosovo later this Saturday! Meanwhile, her lawyer has decided to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasburg.

Qumran, now 51, arrived in Switzerland in 1990. This is where she married an Italian who then separated and raised two boys from this marriage, writes 20 minutes.ch. But no farther than Saturday (after tomorrow) she must leave Switzerland. Here and across the Schengen Zone, she won't have access to another three years.

The cause of this sentence lies in its complete dependence on social aid from 1997 onward. By the end of March 2015, the total amount of social support it had received over the years had reached 403,000 francs.

The “can't exactly expect it, in the near future, to be independent and to make a living with its work”, says the Federal Court's ruling. At this court of Kumrije A., he had complained against the expulsion decision taken from the lowest instance.

Because she was supported by the social entity during her stay in Switzerland, she has made no effort to work on the primary labour market”.

While 26-year-old Kumrije's son Antonio rejects the expulsion decision says: my “Mother has worked for years on protected projects brokered by social authorities”. In the normal economy, she wouldn't get a chance to get a job.

Because of serious psychiatric and bodily problems, she urgently needs to treat”. While such treatment in Kosovo is not possible. Medical reports have shown that his mother is at risk of committing suicide in case she is forced back to Kosovo.

Her former lawyer, Peter Bolzley, considers the expulsion decision shocking. The “Authorities have known for already 30 years that it is dependent on social aid”, Bolzley says. And despite the fact that she has lived for nearly 30 years in Switzerland, where she has raised her children and where her living center is, they want to expel her. “Zyra for Migration is conducting a real campaign against persons dependent on social aid”, Bolzley says.

While for migration expert Alberto Achermann, the federal Court's decision is not extraordinary but consistent with the tendency in judicial practice, it broadcasts albinfo.ch. “It corresponds to the practice in which when someone receives social aid in such high numbers, his status of residence” will be reviewed, says Achermann. The important point in this context is prognosis.

In the case when someone is highly trusted that even in the future he will be dependent on social aid, then this prognosis results in negative”. If both of her sons, with Swiss passports, could take care of her mother and finance her life, the court would probably make another decision, says Achermann.

Since 2008, social assistance authorities have been forced without asking, to report the cantonal immigration authorities to foreigners receiving social aid. “Since then has increased the number of convicts due to social aid dependence, and this will lead to such decisions” in the future, says Achermann.

But your current lawyer from Qumille A. Tim Walker intends that as a first step, he will affect the decision to stop entering the Schengen Zone to his client. Such intervention in family life cannot be tolerated. This is where a family is being torn up:x1>, says Walker.

According to the lawyer, Swiss courts have largely clarified the circumstances of Kumrije A. For this reason he will also file a complaint at the European Court for Human Rights in Strasburg. The decision is extremely unproportional”, says Walker. “
