Henny A.J. Kreeft

De Afghaan Abdul Momand en zijn twee puberkinderen met de Nederlandse nationaliteit kunnen in ons land blijven. Momand dreigde uitgezet te worden, maar minister Gerd Leers (Immigratie) maakt een uitzondering vanwege ‘individuele omstandigheden’, aldus een woordvoerder van het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken vandaag. Als hij was uitgezet, had Momand noodgedwongen zijn kinderen moeten meenemen naar zijn land van herkomst. De Afghaanse man, die al 15 jaar in Nederland woont, kon ze niet achterlaten, omdat zijn vrouw in 2006 is overleden. De kinderen, 15 en 16, spreken geen Afghaans. Momand kreeg tot drie keer toe van rechters te horen dat hij … Continue reading Afghaan met puberkinderen mag blijven
