I turn to you because my fiancé was detained and locked up by the police. He is in danger of being deported back to Iraq from Finland.
Allow me to introduce myself: I’m a Finnish woman who lives in the region of Varsinais-Suomi with two children, I’m pregnant and want to get married. Honorable Prime Minister, I’m stricken with deep sadness today because I miss my fiancé so much. Even if we’re separated, we sleep together with the children. Both of us have our mobile phones next to us so we can see our faces thanks to a videophone application.
We met the first time at the garden of my house. My future fiancé appeared with different colored roses. He built a lighted statue from a watering can. My fiancé is hard-working, loyal and a good construction worker, gardener and remodels homes. In his former homeland, he was a stonemason who worked with marble.
The painting, which was made by the author, is called “Apstrakt.”
He is my true love, a father to my children and a source of pride for my parents. We first lived in a paradise contentedly but then everything turned into a nightmare in January, when the police took him away from me when we went to the police station to find out the decision of the district court concerning his asylum case.
