Fernanda Milan was due to leave Denmark last Monday (17 September) and it wasn't until the afternoon of that day that she heard that the Refugee Board had decided to reopen her case.
'When the Refugee Board chooses to reopen the case, it shows that we were right,' said Stine Larsen from the T-Refugee Project, a group of activists fighting for Milan to remain in Denmark. 'We know that Fernanda is in danger in Guatemala because she is transgender and a human rights activist.'
