Amnesty for asylum seekers in Norway on the 200th years of celebration day of the Norwegian Constitution on 17th may 2014

Make the day beautiful

This is the best opportunity for Norway

It's all  about forgiveness, love, 

Nothing to lose 


The Norwegian Constitution of May 1814 is the oldest European constitution that is still in use, and the second oldest in the world – behind the American, by which it was inspired. On May 17th this year, we celebrate its bicentenary.

The celebration is an opportunity to shed light on:

  • Norway’s historical and international role in the development of democracy and law.
  • Issues concerning human rights, freedom of speech, gender and equality.
  • Smaller nations’ right to independence with respect to the influence of major countries whose decisions and actions have ramifications far beyond their own borders.
  • The constitution was a symbol of independence from Norway’s neighboring countries.

What Norway and Norwegians can do for the asylum seekers who fled from their countries regarding  luck of democracy and law, human right abuse, freedom of speech, and equality.

·         Asylum Seekers who escaped from torture, prison, intimidation, sexual abuse, and many other reasons.

  • ·         Asylum Seekers who have been living in Norway for more than decades.

  •        Asylum seekers who have been working and paying taxes to Norway for many years.

  •               Asylum seekers who have been established a family and even some of them bought a house.

  •          Children who have been born and grow up in Norway

  •          Asylum seekers who needs a medical treatment but couldn`t get it.
