'Norwegian of the year' to be thrown out of Norway...

A young Russian woman acclaimed as 'Norwegian of the Year' who wrote a book about life as an illegal immigrant in Norway, is being thrown out of the country.

The decision to deport Madina Salamova, 25, has sparked a nationwide debate about Norway's immigration laws, triggered public protests, and put the country's centre-left government on the defensive.

The girl, who is better known under her literary pseudonym 'Maria Amelie', moved to Norway in 2003 with her parents after neighbouring Finland rejected their asylum claim.

(...)

She mastered Norwegian, took cleaning jobs for cash, got a degree, found herself a Norwegian boyfriend, and last year published a book about her life as an illegal immigrant to considerable acclaim.

Weekly news magazine Ny Tid crowned her "Norwegian of the Year" in 2010, saying she had enriched public discourse. Full story...
