Solidarity with resisting Refugees in Turkey

حمایت از افغانهای پناهجو در ترکیه

 

Today we painted a lot of banners. The sad news of the death of Muslim reached us, but we also got the message of resisting refugees. Not just in Mexico people go to the streets to demand freedom and a safe, human place to life, but also in Ankara in Turkey.

The turkish nation stopped the progress of the asylum requests of the refugees from Afghanistan. They don’t say yes, they don’t say no. The people need to continue waiting, with no status, always labeled as asylum seeker and always with the fear of being deported back, to the place where one escaped from. The turkish government refuse to continue the procedure. The refugees from Afghanistan are already longer resisting against this practice. They organized themselves before in Istanbul. Since some time they also protest against the UNHCR, because the UNHCR ignores the inhuman situation ot the afghan refugees in Turkey.

A part of the group of afghan refugees are in hunger strike for 7 weeks. They also sewed their mouths to underline the seriousness of their struggle. They protest in front of the UNHCR building. The population supports them. They get food and material, like blankets from the neighborhood.

Respect the human rights. Don’t ignore and exclude people because of their origin.

We will not stay silent if this treatment continues.

Migration is not a crime.

WE ARE ONE!

Call of the Protest March for Freedom for Action in Schengen (LUX) on Sunday 1st of June

Call of the Protest March for Freedom for Action in Schengen (LUX) on Sunday 1st of June

On the 13th day of the Protest March we will reach the city Schengen through our third border crossing from Germany to Luxembourg.
After the press conference at 11 am we will cross the bridge from Perl to Schengen to start our action in this symbolic city for racist asylum and migration policies.

Schengen is the city in which the Schengen Treaty was signed. In Schengen the EU is celebrating freedom of movement and „Europe without borders“ as well as FRONTEX. It is celebrating the privileges of the European citizens while criminalizing migration.Therefore the Schengen Treaty on the other hand means the establishment of Fortress Europe, migrant defence and deaths at the borders of Europe and its seas as well the violation of human rights.

We call all refugees and solidarious groups to join us in Perl to cross the border together to reach Schengen. Through creative actions we want to celebrate there the freedom of movement for EVERYONE and at the same time we want to scandalize the killing militarization of Schengen’s outer borders. We want to abolish Frontex, the Dublin System and all anti-migration policies of Europe.

Also on the 5th and 6th of June the Council of the European Union will come together in Luxembourg Ville (Place de l’Europe 4) to discuss the Task Force for the Mediterranean, the Schengen System as well as the new executive director of FRONTEX. Therefore join also our action day on the 5th of June in Luxembourg Ville!!

Let’s come there together and smash borders and racism!!

Solidarity with Sans-papiers in Calais

Posted on by

soli_calaisThe March for Freedom share the anger of our friends in Calais who were violently evicted by the police today from their self-organised camps and hundreds of people were forced to leave their places of resistance.

We also express our rage to the already announced eviction of the squats in the coming days in Calais. We wont stay silent to this brutal way of treating human beings. We show our full solidarity with the sans-papiers. You are not alone!

The french police and government must respect the human rights, freedom of residency and freedom of movement.

RESISTANCE CAN NOT BE EVICTED

We are on the way to Freedom!

(weiter unten in deutsch…)

On the 17th of May we crossed the first border. 400 refugees, migrants, non-citizens, sans papiers and non-affected people in solidarity crossed the Europe Bridge from Kehl to Strasbourg.
One day after the European elections we took back our human right. We marched publicly across the border between France and Germany to Saarbrücken. We used the two days in our protest camp in Saarbrücken to make our demands public with a demonstration and a theatre. In the Lager in Lebach close by, where hundreds of people are living under inhumane conditions, we loudly expressed our solidarity. We had a spontaneous demonstration at the Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge, which is located in the Lager. Those responsible for the terrible situation of refugees in Europe shall feel our rage!

Mobilize in the Lagers!
Transport refugees to the protest march and back!
Organize solidarity actions!

Our demands are:

  • Freedom of movement and free choice of residence for all
  • Stop of the Dublin-trap and forced accomodation in Lagers in Europe
  • Permanent, unconditional residence permit
  • Stop imprisonment and deportation of migrants
  • Equal political, social and cultural rights for all: right of education and work
  • Same working conditions for all
  • Stop European imperialist policy: no more free trade treaties and NATO wars
  • Abolish FRONTEX, EUROSUR and other anti-migration policies and measures

The next stops of the March for Freedom are:
