Amsterdam: Two Turkish girls to be deported

Sumeyra (15) and Ceyda (14), two Turkish girls, have been living with their father and step-mother in Amsterdam since 1995. Their parents have Dutch nationality, but the girls have not received residence permits, despite the fact that their father has custody over them, and are set to be deported on Tuesday.

The girls barely speak Turkish and the rest of their family lives in the Netherlands and Germany. The family and their school are currently trying to cancel the deportation by turning to both local and state politicians.
