Yemane Teferi never achieved his dream of getting asylum in Norway. But in death, his story recognized.
A 56-year-old's death has caused debate ii Norway. And Monday brought together people from across the country to commemorate him. It writes TV 2 Norway.
For 25 years lived Yemane Teferi Eritrean asylum centers before January 8 died of an indisposition at the asylum center Bømlo by Mosterhamn Hordaland, and today will be held memorial services in several Norwegian cities, including in Olso, Bergen, Stavanger and Harstad .
- It is incredibly sad to see a person's life be wasted in this way. Yemane has been exposed to a clock, they can never be corrected. It is almost a miscarriage of justice, says Rune Berglund Steen, head of Antiracistisk Center for TV 2 Norway.
He met 10 years ago Yemane, and since then he has been fighting his case for asylum.
Teferi ended only in an asylum center in Sweden, where he stayed for eight years before he came on to Norway, where he spent another 17 years before last month exhaled.
For the Norwegian authorities said Teferi that he would be killed if he returned to Eritrea, why Norway has never tried to send him back to the African country, although in 2006 he was finally rejected his asylum application.
Photo exhibition made him famous
The Norwegians were really aware of Yemanes history when the photographer Marianne North last year made a photo exhibition with photos of Yemane Teferi.
For TV 2 Norway tells her that he spent his life in a room of 10 square meters in the asylum center, a room he constantly had to share with another person, and that he only had 1,800 Norwegian kroner available a month.
It was supposedly Yemane Teferis wish that he be buried on Norwegian soil, but that desire is not fulfilled. The Norwegian authorities have made contact with relatives in Eritrea, which stands ready to receive his remains.

Yemane Teferi from Eritrea lived 25 years in asylum centers before he died the night of January 8 this year at Bømlo reception at Mosterhamn Hordaland for an ailment.
He claimed all along that he would be prosecuted if he returned to the homeland and Norway never made any attempt to send him back.
Yemane was sure he would end his days in Norwegian soil, but now it turns out that neither it wished to 56-year-old get fulfilled.
- There has been a question about who rightfully represent him. But then we are in dialogue with a spouse to a three- or four sense of Teferi who expressed desire to receive the coffin and bury him down there, says Cecilie Schjatvet, Teferis lawyer TV2.
This means that the coffin with the applicant should be sent to Eritrea, and the bill for transport will likely have to be taken by the relatives.
- The papers are in order to send the stretcher to Eritrea, confirms Svein Lunde, sheriff at Bømlo police station TV2.
Embassy joins
A funeral will handle the broadcast, probably in cooperation with the Police Immigration and representatives from the embassy of Eritrea in Stockholm covering Norway.
When Police Immigration deported dead people to their homeland, are each country's embassy to accompany the transport.
Teferi lived the last 17 years in various refugee centers in this country, after he arrived in Norway after spending eight years in asylum centers in Sweden.
