MORGANTOWN (AP) — Law students and professors at West
Virginia University have helped a Syrian mother and son gain asylum in
the U.S.
Officials at the Morgantown school say the anonymous
clients were fearful of their country's ongoing civil war. They say they
endured harassment and lived in a dangerous part of the country, where
"bullets whizzed by their home" at any given moment.
Four students with the College of Law's Immigration Clinic helped the family gain asylum.
The
clinic was created in 1996. It has served international residents
throughout West Virginia and western Pennsylvania with deportation,
asylum and other legal proceedings.
Over the years, students have
won political asylum cases for clients from Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt and
other countries. Officials say the clinic helps students gain
real-world experience.
