The Immigration and Asylum appeals board in Iceland, has rejected the appeal of Nigerian couple, Sunday Iserian and Joy Lucky, and their eight-year-old daughter to stay in the country.
The couple left Nigeria more than eight years ago, via the Libya route, to Italy, where they met and had their child. They later migrated to Iceland, in search of a better life which they have been denied.
In July, we reported that the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration rejected the asylum application of the Nigeria couple who have been subjected to violence, poverty, and threats, while his partner was a victim of sexual slavery while pregnant with Mary.
The news of the rejection of their application met with some furor in Iceland and an online petition was set up for them to be able to stay in the country.
But the country’s Immigration and Asylum appeals board ruled on Monday that the couple will be deported back to Nigeria, after waiting in the country for two years.
