    Amnesty international and three other international organizations
    on human rights issued a statement, urging Austria to stop detaining
    children and halt the deportations of well-integrated foreign families
    which are denied asylum.

    The statement also calls on Austria to better protect the rights of
    non-Austrian minors and become more lenient about allowing young
    asylum seekers and their parents to stay on humanitarian grounds,
    Associated Press reports.

    Several days ago two 8-year-old twins were taken into custody with
    their father and deported back to their native Kosovo. The children's
    mother, who is in psychiatric care, stayed in Austria. The family
    had lived in Austria since 2004.

    A 14-year-old Armenian girl disappeared before police could pick
    her up from school and deport her. Meanwhile, her mother, is under
    suicide watch and has been hospitalized, RFE/RL reports.
