JOINT ACTION DAY AGAINST EVICTIONS OF REFUGEES

We are calling everybody to the anti-racist demonstration

SATURDAY 20th OF JUNE 2pm AT OMONOIA SQUARE


Dear friends refugees
As you already know, the Greek government has decided to evict thousands of refugees whose asylum rights have been recognized from the places where they live. According to the Ministry of Immigration - more than 10,000 refugees from camps, hotels and apartments will be on the streets in the coming days without any support from the Greek state and international refugee protection agencies, without being provided with way to ensure their livelihood.
This decision continues and enhances the anti-refugee policy based on EU - Turkey agreement and deprives victims of war, persecution and torture inalienable right to provide safe haven. It is a policy that does not respect human rights, as well as similar decisions of other EU countries. for closed borders, fortress – Europe and restriction of the right to asylum and freedom of refugees.


And as directed against refugees, and thus directed against the rights of workers, youth, unemployed, retired, in order to serve the interests of the financial oligarchy.
Under the pretext of decongesting the camps on the Aegean islands where people have been trapped for months or even years, thousands of families are being deprived of the housing provided by the ESTIA program and the allowance provided to refugees by the same program.
The Coordination for Refugees / Immigrants of Associations, collectives and Student Associations supports the rights of all refugees to housing, decent living standards, access to health, education, working with equal rights.
We are by your side to organize your struggle, in coordination with the unions and the collectives of the workers and the people. We stand in solidarity and will remain on the same paths until we win.
We are fighting with you for:
·     No eviction of refugees.
·     No use of force or state repression aimed at removing refugees from their places of residence.
·     Continue and expand housing programs for all, recognized and asylum-seekers, refugees in         homes in our cities and villages.
·     Close refugee concentration camps. No to closed facilities – prisons for refugees.
·     Acommodation of refugees in residences within cities and villages is an inalienable human right that we do not stop fighting for.
Our common struggles aim to:
·     Asylum to all refugees without restrictions.
·     Cancel the EU-Turkey racist agreement.
·     Open the borders for refugees and allow them to move freely for whatever country they want to settle.
·     Stop wars and imperialist interventions
