The group “Refugee Struggle for Freedom” group is at the moment knocking on the doors of refugee camps in order to network, exchange, and organize with other Non-Citizens. The aim of the mobilization tour in Bavaria is to get in touch with Non-Citizens in order to enter into a collective resistance against the racist asylum system!

To make this resistance possible, it is needed:

• People who can drive cars and cars
• Sleeping places for people (in Munich, Landshut, Regensburg, Würzburg, Nuremberg) coming from outside
• Possibilities to print and copy
• Translations (English, French, farsi, arabic, wolof, etc.)
• Money! (For tickets, petrol, copies) Here is the call out for donations. Please spread it widely, collect money in your groups and from relatives, organize soli-parties, write financial applications and so on.At the moment it is mobilized for big Non Citizen meetings in Munich on Friday 17th March 2017 and the weekend of the 25th and 26th of March 2017.

  Resistance to the racist asylum system! Solidarity with the struggles of Non-Citizens!

Last Thursday (09.02.17) around 70 refugee women, men and children protested in Nuremberg in front of the Federal Office of Migration and Refugees. They protested against their Dublin deportations and for the right to have their asylum procedures in Germany. Most of them come from Ethiopia and are to be deported to Italy. One of the organizers told us on the phone that they had to live there on the street and were without any medical care. “In Italy, we have no human rights! Some of us would rather die than be deported to Italy.” She saw the two-hour demonstration from Nuremberg’s Hallplatz to the Federal Office as a success. Despite the cold many refugees have joined. Many of the women came to seek counselling from the International Women’s Cafe Soon, however, it was clear that there would be no individual solutions for them since most churches no longer accept people for church asylum. So they decided to organize a protest, in cooperation with the International Women’s Cafe.
Now they will meet next week to make further plans.

For a conditionless right to stay! Down with the inhumane Dublin system! Down with fortress Europe!

Since one week, the Non-Citizen writer Farid B. is on hunger strike in Düren. He is protesting against the inhumane conditions in his camp and the discriminatory treatment by the operating organization Malteser. He was recently moved to a room that only measures ten square meters – two residents are supposed to live in it. That is far below the narrowly measured minimum standard. The refugees also receive out-of-date food. For three months the author has tried unsuccessfully to negotiate with the administration about these nuisances.

Farid B. decided on 13 January to stop eating as a protest, although he has health problems. Since he has no power to speak, he communicates to the outside through a friend. He told us on the phone that Farid B. wants to draw attention to these inhuman conditions with his protest: “Everyone has to know what is going on.” He also demands that the chief of the Malteser administration resigns.

So far, the organisation has not shown any reaction to the hunger strike. The officials from the North Rhine-Westphalian state government and the city hall of Düren ignore the protest. Only the caretaker of the camp has responded: He has threatened Farid B. and denounced him as a ‘traitor’.

We wish Farid B. a lot of strength for his legitimate and important protest and send solidarity greetings!

Deporting people to a country that suffers from war, a country which
travel warnings were announced for and not even German soldiers are
capable of protecting their bases? unthinkable? For us it is, but
the German government and especially the Bavarian government is of
different opinion. On 14. of December 2016 34 people from Afghanistan
were deported from Frankfurt airport to Kabul. Among them, 8 people came
from Bavaria. The responsible politicians justify this practice of
deportation to a war country by territorial means of escape. But the
situation in Afghanistan is actually catastrophic: Only in November 2016
there were 5 big attacks with over 50 dead people and numberless
casualties. Moreover in Afghanistan there are already more than a
million refugees within the country who are insufficiently or even not
provided or protected at all.
We have to fight against this practice of deportation! We don’t want any
deportations, not to Afghanistan or elsewhere! We show solidarity to all
people who stand up for a right of residence and against deportation!
Stop deportation – NOW!

Therefore Jugendliche ohne Grenzen and Karawane München call up for a
demonstration in Munich to show a signal of solidarity against
deportation to Afghanistan and to show the Bavarian government that we
absolutely refuse their politics of deportation.
