KLM refused to be involved in kids' deportation to Armenia

KLM refused too cooperate last year in the deportation of child asylum seekers Lili and Howick. The night before Lili and Howick's scheduled deportation, the director of KLM called the director general of repatriation and deportation service DT&V. After KLM canceled the tickets, DT&V managed to get new tickets for Lili and Howick from a foreign airline a day later. After a storm of criticism regarding the children's impending deportation - experts and doctors called it irresponsible to send the two children to Armenia, there were accusations that the Netherlands is violating human rights, and over 100 thousand people signed a petition for the two children to stay - State Secretary Mark Harbers of Justice and Security decided to give Lili and Howick a pardon at the last minute.
