"I would like to raise a case about fundamental rights. I recently visited Cairneyhill Primary School near Dunfermline in Scotland and I was approached by a boy called Douglas, who wanted to raise the case of an Eritrean girl called Rima Andmariam. This relates to what the first speaker was saying about Eritrea.
Rima’s family was persecuted and murdered in Eritrea for being Christian. The persecution of Christians in Eritrea is a subject I know you are familiar with. Rima managed to escape to Italy and then to Glasgow in Scotland where Alison and Robert Swinfin took her in and cared for her and looked after her as their own daughter.
Rima is now 17. She is facing deportation back to Italy where she first sought asylum and we are doing all that we can to raise Rima’s case to appeal to all those that can help her. She needs to remain in the loving care of Alison and Robert.
Her case is being raised by civil society, human rights organisations and churches across Scotland. It was even mentioned on ‘Thought for the Day’ on Radio Scotland yesterday. What can the Commission do to protect Rima’s fundamental rights?"@en1
