Tamil boy can stay in Denmark

The Refugee Board has decided to let a 15-year-old Sri Lankan remain in Denmark after he was scheduled to be deported

The ongoing saga of 15-year-old Ramis Ramachandran from Sri Lanka, better known as 'Rams', took a new turn Monday, when his pending deportation case was temporarily put on hold.

Acting on information from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the Danish Refugee Board placed Rams's case in abeyance, preventing him from being sent back to his war-torn homeland.

'Naturally I'm happy about it,' said Rams's appointed solicitor, Hannah Krog, to Berlingske Tidende.

The Ministry of Refugees, Immigration and Integration Affairs denied Rams's application for asylum because his brother is still living in Sri Lanka. The boy has since been in hiding.

'It's not enough that his case has been suspended. I think there is ground for giving him residency,' Krog said.

Rams came to Denmark in 2005 to live with his uncle in Rønde, Jutland after losing his parents in the December 2004 Tsunami. The boy's brother is only 17 and a member of the Tamil Tiger rebel group.

'When the UNHCR's warning came out last week about sending native Tamils back to Sri Lanka, I sent the Ministry of Integration a request to reopen Rams's case on the background of the new information,' said Krog.

'I think that ought to be enough to give him residency and I fully expect that it will happen soon.'

The Danish People's Party said earlier this week that the case is a Danish matter and that the UN had 'no say' in the case.
