The news of Nilyufar Amirbekova, who has Down syndrome and is to be sent back alone to his native Kazakhstan, has aroused great concern throughout the country.
Agneta Khan in Malmö was so touched by the story that she chose to contact the family in Mörrum and then start a petition for Nilyufar.
"I felt that we had to help each other. We must do everything we can and hopefully we can hand over the names to the Migration Agency and show that there are many of us who do not agree with this decision, says Agneta Khan.
Great support
In addition to Agneta's fundraiser, the family has also started a digital list of names. In total, the petitions were up to almost 10,000 names on Monday.
"There are so many people who care. It feels wonderful to receive such great support, says Ingemar Olsson, trustee of Nilyufar.
