Vilnius Regional Administrative Court on April 5 upheld the Migration Department‘s decision to grant the family temporary legal protection instead of refugee status they had sought.
“The family decided not to appeal,” Eglė Samuchovaitė, a lawyer who represented the Iraqis, told BNS.
She said that she was not authorized to comment on the reasons for the decision.
