Rifqa Bary needs asylum grant, but parents want to prevent it

The AP/NY Times is reporting on this case. Aside from the predictable biases, it seems that the parents are still trying their utter reprehensive to sabotage her ability to get an asylum grant:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A teenage girl who converted to Christianity and ran away from home is being blocked by her Muslim parents from fighting the possibility of deportation, her attorney told a judge Monday in an ongoing custody dispute.

Rifqa Bary, 17, who fled home last year and stayed with a Florida minister whom she met on Facebook, is an illegal immigrant and does not want to be returned to her native Sri Lanka because she fears being harmed or killed by Muslim extremists.
Notice how they don't actually mention that the only reason she's in the US illegally is because her parents are too. Or that her own parents are said extremists.
Bary and her parents, Mohamed and Aysha Bary, have agreed to follow a counseling plan drawn up by a county child welfare agency to try to resolve the family's conflict. It requires both sides to work with individual counselors and to try to attend join counseling.

But a face-to-face meeting remains unlikely any time soon.

Jim Zorn, a children's services attorney, told the judge that Bary continues to believe that a reconciliation with her parents is impossible. Bary's counselor has indicated that contact with her parents would be premature, he said.

Bary has also complained that her parents have not responded to an emotional letter sent to them through a counselor that explains why their relationship broke down, Lloyd said.
And doesn't that tell that they've clearly stigmatized her and have no intention of respecting her wishes? It doesn't take too much to guess that they're the ones unwilling to undergo counseling. Exactly why she needs refugee status approval.

Update: here's a statement from Jamal Jivanjee on what's going on.
