Leaked Emails Expose Deportation Dilemma for 9-Year-Old

Published: 2024-04-08

In a revealing turn of events, P4 Skaraborg has uncovered emails between Swedish police and Albanian authorities that contradict Migration Agency claims regarding the fate of a nine-year-old girl, Lisa, facing deportation to Albania.

Despite the agency's assertions that the risk of children being placed in orphanages is exaggerated and that "organized reception" solutions are in place, the emails suggest Lisa will be placed in an institution upon her deportation.

Lisa's foster parents in Sweden have made attempts to adopt her, but a recent court ruling decided against adoption, deeming it not in the child's best interest.

Amidst mounting criticism, the Migration Agency maintains that a child will not be deported without "organized reception", indicating the possibility of re-evaluating Lisa's case.
