Yesterday, a delegation group from Lampedusa in Hamburg joined the march. We are really happy to be together now because we have a lot to share and to do. We invite all freedom fighters from all refugee movements to join us, bring their experience to us and make our mission together possible.

4 June, Action Day in Luxembourg

Today we had our action day in Luxembourg. As the bourgeois media didn’t cover our story, We decided to occupy the RTL building in Luxembourg. In our action we managed to enter the building and ask for our demands. They called the police and tried to stop us.

Afterwards we decided to march to the Luxembourg detention center. They didn’t let us in, but we walked arround the building and shouted. The refugees from inside hear us and open the windows. We spoke with them and we gave them a support number. After that they informed us about their name, nationality and how long they are imprisoned.

Hereby we want to announce that 28 people from many nationalities are imprisoned in this detention center without the basic human rights.

It is our fight to help all the people in detention centers to get them out of this situation and hereby we ask for help of every person who can help these people against unhuman European laws.

Tomorrow

The European interior ministers have a summit in the European justice court (Rue du Palais de Justice, 1841 Luxembourg) to talk about the “new plans and laws about refugees in Europe”. They want to talk about us, but they didn’t invite us.

We will have our action in there and invite you to join us in front of the building tomorrow morning.

 

WE ARE ONE!

Among the good and bad news around the refugee protests we got also yesterday a very bad shocking message from one of our comrade in strasburg about the roma camp that was attacked violently by french police in the early morning.The police broke the locks ,searched in staffs and while making fear inbetween of families and children ,took their phones .

Just remembering thatwe had for some days two beautiful horses along the march from the camp that were with us even when we passed the hard way in middle of forest. As March For Freedom continue,such a news that the poeple here and there face such a brutallity and suffering  make us so sad and down .But this would be also one reason  to never give up. we fight until we are all free,

We share the same anger with the roma people who apart from the status get the same discriminattion .

You are not alone . Refugee Protest March is with you. Stay strong. We are one

Anti – Schengen Declaration

Posted on by

The current Schengen declaration should guarantee the freedom of movement between the member states of Schengen a fundamental basic right. For all Non-European citizens this means the opposite: human trafficking, prison, deportation and death.

We do not accept this world anymore where borders are separating us.

We need a new declaration, which gives ALL of us the same rights:

Anti – Schengen Declaration

The Schengen Agreement applies to any person crossing the internal or external borders of a European Union (EU) country.

(1) „European Union (EU) citizens and other persons enjoying the right of free movement within the EU (such as the family members of an EU citizen) undergo a minimum check.“

„Non-EU country nationals are subject to thorough checks.“

What does it mean?

In consequence the Schengen agreement makes migrants, refugees and/or Non-citizens to objects of EU border policy. The EU etablish a 2class system of human beings, those who are able to enjoy the right of free movement and those who are just objects of „thorough checks“.

And even more: Not all EU-Citizens are enjoying the right of free movement. Roma are being discrimnated all over Europe, forced to flee and getting deported within the european union.

(2) „Border checks are carried out by border guards. When performing their duties, border guards must fully respect human dignity and may not discriminate against persons on grounds of sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation.“

What does it mean?

Border guards mean Frontex. Frontex means Borderregime. Borderregime means thousands of deaths every year at the external borders of the EU. The migration from the Global South is controlled by the EU in a racist and capitalistic way. Within the EU, the police is practicing racial profiling. That means People of colour are affected by discrimatory police practice. The „fully respected police treatment“ apply just to white european citizens.

These and other points of the Schengen agreement establish a system of „illegal“ and „legal“ migration. Its catagorize people in „refugees“, „migrants“ and „citizens“.

These categories put borders between people.

Borders between people and between countries are killing people every day.

Abolish all borders!

Stop the killing!

Border Crossing and Action Day in Schengen, first of june, 2014

Posted on by

The March for Freedom started yesterday in the morning in the german village Perl with a lot of support to cross the border to Luxemburg. Making photo together, with solibanners from the night before like most of the other days was our first political morning action. From the sleeping place, the gym of the village, the march started with a loud demonstration through the village.

The border in this area is the river Mosel. Schengen is an important symbolic place along the way of the march, because of the Schengen agreement. It gives the citizens of Europe the privilege to cross the borders of the member states without any control, but for non-citizens, refugees, sans-papiers and migrants, it means everything else than freedom of movement.

Before the crossing  the bridge, there was a press conference. Some activists made clear why they participate in the March For Freedom. The restriction of movement, capitalism, racism and the deaths in the mediteranean sea, caused by fortress Europe, were the main topics.

To make visible the danger that a lot of people have to face to reach the coasts of europe, some of the refugee activists crossed the river by boat or jumped out of the boat and swam to the other side. Bloody they reached Schengen, at the point where the heads of the european states left the luxury boat after signing the agreement in 1990.

The three columns which inform about the history of the agreement got redecorated to show the brutal reality of its affects.
After a while the demonstration continued untill it reached the Schengen museum. A museum which also deals with the story of Frontex. The tunesian delegation, which is participating in the march for freedom, made an exibition with pictures and long lists of names of the ones who are missing and the ones who died in the sea or in the hands of the european authorities. A group which occupied the roof of the museum hang up a banner asking: „Frontex. Où sont nos enfans?“ (Frontex, where are our children?) and another banner stating „Frontex kills“.
On the way along the river an exibition showed the terrible situation for refugees in Greece.

The afternoon ended with food and a cultural programm, then the march continued for the last 4 km to the sleeping place in Remerschen.
The whole day the police was almost not visible and also didn‘t react repressively against any action. Until now the march didn‘t have any serious problems with border crossing, but still there is another border to cross on the way to Brussels. On the 6th of June the march will enter Belgium. Since the G7 summit takes place on the 4th and 5th of June in Brussels, Belgium has announced that they will make restrictive border controls from the 1st to 6th of June.

The leaders of the seven most dominant capitalist nations don‘t like to be disturbed when they make their dirty business.

As the biggest consumers of resources and energy in the world and leaders in production of weapons, they want to avoid seeing the victims of their policies.

„We are here, because you destroy our countries.“

The march will continue, and the goal is to reach Brussels. The fight will go on until it is impossible to ignore the voices of people who get victimised by capitalism, rulership, racism and wars.
