the cries are no longer heard

for seven solid years this family has lived and built their hope that they will get a stay in Austria. Now why must they be sent back to a place which will no longer seem like home again? I have met Ejzonita in my school inter cultural visit with VS Neufelden in 2009 and in 2011 and she was among those who helped me read the German book for other kids, her spoken language is now German, why deny this innocent child the inalienable right of education. Why can't they see the long suffering of the Hasanis and give them peaceful stay? Have we become inhuman to even see when suffering becomes unbearable? I appeal to the immigration authority of Austria to give this disenchanted family a stay, if there is something in them that cares for the living.
