Migrants and refugees with children should be granted permanent residency in Italy, the country’s highest court has ruled. The Supreme Court of Appeal ruled in favor of a Libyan mother of twins born in the Italian city of Brescia in January 2017, saying children are a factor that heightens the “vulncrability” of refugees and migrants, and this cannot be ignored by the Interior Ministry or judges.
The ministry had refused protection to the woman, only known by her initials A. L. A court in Brescia had ruled that she “did not have specific personal and family problems.” For this reason, in June 2019 it gave the green light for the repatriation of the mother and her twins. Her lawyer Massimo Gilardoni filed an appeal.
