From humanity in politics: for Shpresa and Yussuf Raba
By Dominique Voynet, Thursday 26 April 2007 at 17:27:: Place ideas
Expulsés four months ago in a display of financial and human resources, Shpresa and Yussuf Raba revenues are now in France, the country where were born two of their three children, the country where they have rebuilt their lives five years ago, after they had to flee Kosovo.
One need only recall the emotions raised by their arrest, Gray, where they live, universally appreciated, and the mobilization of most people in this small town in Haute-Saone. It remembers the cries of children, violence against parents, and the dignity of the mother, holding centre in Lyon. It will be recalled rocambolesques conditions of their expulsion, Gray in Lyon and Paris to Toulouse ... At a cost probably more than EUR 100000…
The Raba, have ever imagined live again in Kosovo, under the watchful goguenard or threatening to their torturers yesterday. They returned clandestinely, which has rounded the scholarship smugglers of 7000 euros. The story of this family could be summed up like this: be double symbol of the inhumanity of a policy of expulsion to the blind, and the failure of this policy.
I attended this morning to the National Assembly at the press conference Awareness Network Without Borders, which was surrounded Schpresa Raba of committee members support the family. This was to show that the mobilization did not break, that the support is there, in their diversity: parents of students, trade unionists, artists, politicians, lawyers…
"Why was it dangerous for you to Kosovo? "Asked a journalist. Madam Raba can not, does not want to answer. In her eyes, you know, we read what happened, and that all those around her, also know. Must we rehash over and over again the pain of the past? Shpresa just ask - far, far from the major debates on migration policy - that his family can be corrected, that her children continue their quiet life with their friends of Gray, in the apartment that the friends have kept their affairs, pending their return.
In this "in-between" of the presidential campaign, it may not be totally ridiculous to imagine that Jacques Chirac and Francois Baroin want to make a small gesture to regulate, without fanfare, the family Raba? It would advance a little in the way of humanity in politics.
That is what I ask them today.
