Italian Court Awards $40,000 To Nigerian Migrant Over Adoption Law Breach by shudi(m): 10:27pm On Jul 17, 2015
Italian authorities have granted a Nigerian migrant
$40,000 following the ruling that his human rights were
infringed.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Italian authorities have granted a
Nigerian migrant $40,000 following the ruling that his
human rights were infringed in his daughter’s adopting
process, a European Rights Group said Friday.

The case submitted last year concerned the Italian
court’s decision to place Eyitope Akinnibosun’s two-
year old daughter, who travelled with him from Lybia
to Italy in 2008, in the care of social services and her
subsequent adoption by a foster family.

On their arrival, the undocumented migrants were
transferred in a refugee centre in Trepuzzi, where the
psychiatrist noted Akinnibosun’s daughter was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and had a difficult relationship with her father suspected of contributing
to the illegal trafficking of people.

In 2013, following the Lecce Family Court’s ruling
to suspend the migrant’s parental responsibility
and contact rights on the basis of his material
and emotional inability to take care of his
daughter, the child was placed in a foster family
and subsequently declared eligible for adoption.

On July 16, the European Court of Human rights
declared a violation of Article 8, right to respect
for private and family life. According to Human
Rights Europe organization, Italian authorities
compensated Akinnibosun non-pecuniary damage,
other costs and expenses, resulted from the
social services not taking the appropriate steps
to enable the migrant maintain any ties with his
daughter and overcome their difficulties.

Recent conflicts in North Africa and the Middle East
displaced millions, triggering a mass exodus
to neighbouring countries and an influx
of undocumented immigrants to Europe. According
to UN data, some 130,000 people have risked the
journey across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe so far
in 2015.
