The fourth rally in support of the Armeian Hovhannisyan family was held in front of the prefecture building in the French city of Laval. The family faces immediate deportation from the country, the French newpaper Ouest-France reports.

“It’s shocking that the prefect doesn’t react to our numerous requests to meeting,” support group representative Christophe Roquain stated by loudspeaker in front of several dozens of people gathered.

According to the newspaper, the illegally residing Armenian family has been under the threat of immediate deportation from the country for several weeks, although the Hovhannisyans arrived in France in August 2011, fleeing their country for fear of corrupted political authorities and mafia, which, in their words, threatened them.
