[object Object],[object Object],The Reaction... The Case of  Lorin Sulaiman Copyright-BBC http://www.united-states-map.org/world-atlas/map-of-europe.htm
[object Object],The Lifestyle The Case of  Lorin Sulaiman Lorin has been in the UK for over  4 years .  Her and her family had no choice about where to move to in the UK. Lorin was  bullied  when she first arrived at school... Some of the students had parents who supported the  BNP .  They criticised Lorin and another girl from South Africa, who had just returned to the school from hospital... " "Why have you come here to take our money and use our hospitals," said one of the girls. "She was addressing her remarks to both of us. I got very angry and said to her, 'What are you on about? We haven't come here to take your money. I came here because my life was in danger.'" Despite these problems, Lorin was a top student -  and was placed on the  gifted and talented  register for her language skills and chosen to represent her year on the  school council.  "Some of them wouldn't talk to me, they just walked past me and gave me dirty looks. I didn't tell people I was an asylum seeker because I wanted to fit in and be normal."
The Reaction the case of  Lorin Sulaiman In November 2004 Lorin and her family were  arrested  in a dawn raid in their home and taken to an “ Immigration Removal Centre ” near Gatwick airport. From the centre, Lorin called the students at her school and  begged  them to do something to  halt the removal  of her family back to Syria. When students heard Lorin was at risk of being deported, they took action straight away... 3000 people  signed a petition for her to stay. Students mounted a high-profile local media campaign and wrote letter to their two local  members of parliament . "There is a great feeling of helplessness in the school community of having a pupil plucked away from us like this. What they felt about what was happening to Lorin didn't fit in with their view of the world"  Derek Trimmer  - Head teacher of Mayfield  School
The Reaction The Case of  Lorin Sulaiman “ In the years that Amina, Eva and Lorin Sulaiman have lived in Portsmouth they have truly integrated into the community and begun to build a life for themselves in a safe, secure, environment. Deporting them to Syria will expose them to political persecution, torture and imprisonment and would fly in the face of international law and the interests and wishes of the family themselves and the local community – and we must not allow this to happen.” Dr Caroline Lucas, MEP
The Resolution? The Case of  Lorin Sulaiman Because of the support they had, the  Home Office  released the family  from detention and agreed to  review  their case. Following this, a decision was made by the Home Office to  allow the family to stay in the UK  until 2007.  Then the Home Office granted Lorin and her family ‘Discretionary Leave to Remain’ for another 3 years.  When that deadline passes they must apply again.
The Resolution? The Case of  Lorin Sulaiman Lorin is now  studying Law  at the University of Westminster, to fulfil her ambition of being a solicitor. “ I'm happy because at least we're not being sent back, that's what we didn't want. But staying here for another two years is still not the same as staying here for definite."
