Lulu Pusuma and Avrum Rosensweig

Avrum Rosensweig: So writes a young girl to Lulu Pusuma, the 6-year-old daughter of Jozsef and Timea, a Roma family attacked in Hungary for their human rights advocacy. They now live in a 20- by 20-foot room in a Toronto church , unable to step outside for fear of deportation, according to The Star. As reported by Avrum Rosensweig, a member of the multi-faith coalition trying to get temporary residence status for Jozsef and his family, four black-clad, bat-wielding neo-Nazis with masks on their faces and venom in their hearts savagely pounced upon the Pusumas in broad daylight one July day in 2009 as they stepped outside their home and I will pray for your family and I hope you dont have to hide much longer and that the government will let your family stay . . . We love you. They have been in sanctuary for the last 29 months. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
