These students with a visa have been stranded since Tuesday morning in the waiting area of Toulouse-Blagnac airport. Their lawyer ensures that all their documents are in order and denounces this situation.
They were to visit a few companies in the Haute-Garonne region. About twenty Senegalese students from Dakar have been stranded in the waiting area of Toulouse-Blagnac airport since Tuesday morning, indicates France Blue Occitania.
It was the association Le Cercle des Voisins which gave the alert. These 19 students arrived on Tuesday morning to attend a seminar organized by their school. “It’s an organized trip with three schools in the Toulouse region, their lawyer Me Sangoné Thiam explains to BFMTV.com. They must visit companies before returning to Senegal.”
4 days before the seizure of a judge
But when they arrived, the border police decided to place them in a waiting area. “They have a visa issued by the French Embassy in Senegal, enough money to cover their expenses in France, a return ticket and a study project justifying their arrival”, details the lawyer who denounces an arbitrary measure.
“There is no migratory will on their part”, explains Me Thiam once more.
The authorities have four days to carry out the checks. After this period, it is a judge of freedoms and detention who will be seized to assess the situation and extend or not the maintenance of students in the waiting area.
