Today, the plane that will take the 22-year-old twin siblings Aliya and Najib to Somalia takes off. Their family will stay behind – they themselves are too old. “I'm afraid we will be forced to live on the streets there,” says Aliya on the phone from the detention center in Märsta.
The "teenage deportation" of twins Aliya and Najib, 22, ended in chaos when the Swedish Prison and Probation Service met with distraught relatives outside Märsta Detention Center. But the plane to Somalia never took off from Arlanda.
