11 year-old Hawjin and 9 year-old Nawjin were born in Norway, and have lived there all of their lives.
The Norwegian government has rejected the family's application for asylum, and plans to deport the family to the homeland of the girls' parents, Iran. The family has appealed the rejection to the courts, and the girls must now convince a judge to overturn the rejection in order to be able to stay in Norway.
