Abdel quadriplegic in care in France is brandished with an OQTF

Arrived from Morocco in 2019 to be treated, “Abdel”, quarantine and quadriplegic, was asked to leave France two months ago. Indeed, Abdel received an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) on February 28, 2022. Since then, he fears that he will be expelled from his hospital bed. Returned to France with a tourist visa, he had filed an asylum application with the National Court of Asylum (CNDA). Rejected! tells us “ActuBordeaux”.
As a result, and in addition to his illness, it is a metaphysical anxiety that gnaws at him, caused by the linking of the reality of the world and that of the French administrative thing that grips him. Anxiety and anxiety are now his daily lot. The shock is all the greater for this Casablancan, because he has always held France in high esteem. ” I thought that in the land of human rights, I would be welcomed with open arms given my condition “.
If on the health plan, the reception which was reserved for him, was without fault, taken care of in this at the Bordeaux University Hospital in a Standardized Care Unit (USN), where he is hospitalized full time, and therefore benefits from the care required by his disability, this is not the case on the administrative and legal level, where little humanity has been shown to him with this OQTF served on him by both the Gironde prefecture and the administrative court.
Even though ” they ‘OQTF editor’s note) are rarely applied for people in his situation “, concedes Mandy Rezeau-Merah, the lawyer specializing in the law of foreigners who follows his file. For her, the OQTF deprives Abdel of any opportunity, health, professional or otherwise.
In Morocco, Abdel could not benefit from the care he needs, according to his lawyer. “It would be death”, assures this man installed in Bordeaux (Gironde), who suffers from Bethlem myopathy, a degenerative disease, which gnaws at his muscles and bends his limbs. An evil that has nailed him in a chair for a long time already.
Today, Abdel is 80% disabled and completely dependent. Feeding, washing, clothing, none of his basic needs can be satisfied without the help of a third party. So when the State services, supported by a decision of the Bordeaux court, ordered him to leave French territory, it was the coup de grace for Abdel. ” My parents are over 70 years old, they are too old to take care of me, and there is no institute adapted to my pathology in Morocco. Over there, if I don’t die from lack of care, I would mentally wither»he begs .
A state of health that requires medical care, the failure of which could have exceptionally serious consequences for him. At the same time, Abdel applied for a residence permit for a sick foreigner, but his acceptance is conditional on two criteria “which correspond in all respects to Abdel’s situation”, points out the lawyer, specializing in foreigners’ law. However, both asylum and the application for a residence permit for medical reasons were rejected en bloc and by the Gironde prefecture and by the administrative court, after the suspensive appeal initiated by Abdel’s lawyers in February 2022.
Reasons invoked to justify the refusal? ” He fails to justify that he is isolated in his country“, and the French Office for Immigration and Integration (OFII), which had Abdel’s file examined by a procession of doctors, considers that “in view of the supply of care in the country of which he is of origin, he may benefit from appropriate treatment there”. Which was duly recorded in the court decision.
But the daily life of people with disabilities in Morocco, Abdel knows it, having suffered it for nearly 38 years. “No accessibility to public services, transport, no mutual aid… These are difficulties which, put together, become insurmountable.“, he laments.
