Expulsion of Kosovar Schoolgirl From France Prompts Outcry
Escorted off school bus, taken to airport
A week ago Leonarda was a 15 year-old schoolgirl in rural France. Now she's sleeping on park benches and can't attend school at all in her native Kosovo, where she and her family were expelled on October 9.
It has emerged that she was taken off a school bus while her class was on an outing by police who escorted her to the airport to join the rest of her family. They had been ordered to leave after exhausting all their asylum claims.
