Gilda Lakatos: Family and Brother Father

gilda lakatos: Dafina Savic, from the Roma advocacy group Romanipe, appealed to the government to cancel the deportation, look at their humanitarian claim and grant them permanent residence on humanitarian grounds, according to CTV. Lakato arrived in Canada in June 2011, with her mother Katalin Lakatos, her brother and father. Gilda Lakatos, 17, made the comments in Montreal on Thursday, while a group of supporters protested by holding up a banner demanding status for all. The family claimed asylum on the grounds that they had faced racist police and health care providers in Hungary. After the family was arrested in March, the father and brother were sent back to Hungary, while the women were released. The family was denied asylum and ordered deported last October, but refused to leave. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
