Velaginey Ratheka came to Norway when she was 11 years old and Ratheka has lived in Norway for 6 years. She went to school here, and has friends and family here. 27th November in the middle of the night, 3:30 am, she was taken by the police and now she's going to be sent back to Sri Lanka. This is unfair and she's unsafe in Sri Lanka! Her mother is the only one who can protect her! Please help us and spread the word! We have to stop this!

Tharsika (18) & Shobini (19), who also got an unexpected visit from the police in the middle of the night, were sent with the first airplane to Oslo.

UPDATE:

Velaginey & her mom are back in Bergen, but their case is still not over! THEY CAN STILL BE SENT BACK TO SRI LANKA ANYTIME, so this is just meanwhile. There's also FOUR OTHERS who will be sent back. It's unsafe for everybody.

The sisters Tharsika (18) & Shobini (19), are afraid of what awaits them in Sri Lanka. The two sisters, their dad & a 54 year old woman are on their way to Doha (arrival: around 11 PM today!, Norwegian time). We wil continue working on this case & try to get them sent back to Bergen (at least not Sri Lanka!) Those who are in charge are informed & they will do whatever they can!

We will NOT give up & we hope that you continue to support the case. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We have to support this & we're so thankful for your support!
THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST RATHEKA WHO NEEDS HELP!
