Hollande: Deported Roma girl can return to France alone
French President Francois Hollande has said a Roma girl who was removed from her school bus and deported can return to finish her studies, but that her family cannot.
Leonarda Dibrani, 15, was expelled along with her parents and five siblings earlier this month after they lost their battle for asylum in France.
The case has sparked protests by student groups across the country.
A government investigation ruled that the deportation had been legal.
