As a „pleasant first step“ abolishing one of the worst hardships of the airport procedure“, describes the spokesperson of PRO ASYL, Heiko Kauffmann, the new practice of the Federal Border Guard, to remove unaccompanied refugees under 16 years old from the airport asylum procedure. This results apparently from a decision of the Federal Minister of the Interior.
According to PRO ASYL since the beginning of this week unaccompanied refugee children are immediately handed over upon arrival at Frankfurt airport to an educationally specialised reception facility outside the airport. By this they are no more reliable to the airport asylum procedure in the transit zone.
Since years PRO ASYL had insisted together with other refugee and children protection associations on the removal of children from the airport asylum procedure due to the fact that the procedure was not adequate to minors and the reception facilities were not suitable for children.
