JOINT ACTION DAY AGAINST EVICTIONS OF REFUGEES

We are calling everybody to the anti-racist demonstration

SATURDAY 20^th 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.

Τι μας διδάσκει ο Κορωνοϊός;

Ο Κορωνοϊός μας δίνει πνευματικά και ηθικά μαθήματα που έχουν από καιρό ξεχαστεί. Μας διδάσκει ισότητα, πως όλοι οι άνθρωποι είναι ίσοι ανεξάρτητα από τον τρόπο ζωής τους, την κουλτούρα, τον πλούτο, το χρώμα του δέρματός τους και τη γεωγραφική τους τοποθεσία.

Ο Κορωνοϊός διδάσκει πως τα σύνορα μπορεί απλώς να σημαίνουν την πόρτα του δωματίου σου, όταν δεν σου επιτρέπεται να βγεις έξω, ακόμη και αν το έχεις ανάγκη. Η διέλευση από το όριο της πόρτας απαγορεύεται.

Ο Κορωνοϊός διδάσκει ότι τα σύνορα μπορούν πλέον να περαστούν χωρίς διαβατήρια. Εκείνα τα έγγραφα που, εδώ και χρόνια, μας χώριζαν, μας απέκλειαν, έχουν μικρή αξία πλέον. Ένας ιός μπορεί να διασχίσει τα σύνορα χωρίς κανένα έγγραφο ταυτοποίησης.

Τετάρτη 4/4, 6.30 μμ Σύνταγμα συγκέντρωση για τις δολοφονίες στο Αγαθονήσι

16 άνθρωποι θα μπορούσαν να είχαν σωθεί αν…

Στις 16 Μαρτίου 16 πρόσφυγες πνίγηκαν έξω από το Αγαθονήσι μετά το ναυάγιο της βάρκας που τους μετέφερε. Αυτοί οι 16 άνθρωποι θα μπορούσαν να είχαν σωθεί…

• αν οι λιμενικοί στη Σάμο είχαν ακούσει τις εκκλήσεις για βοήθεια των συγγενών των ναυαγών, που είχαν ειδοποιηθεί τηλεφωνικά, από το πρωί της 16ης Μαρτίου

• αν οι λιμενικοί δεν αγνοούσαν για μια ολόκληρη μέρα τις κραυγές αγωνίας των συγγενών,

• αν οι ναυαγοί δεν αφήνονταν μόνοι να παλεύουν με τη θάλασσα για 24 ώρες,

• αν οι λιμενικοί είχαν δείξει στοιχειώδες ενδιαφέρον και η επιχείρηση διάσωσης του Λιμενικού δεν ξεκίναγε με 24 ώρες καθυστέρηση, στις 17 Μαρτίου,
• αν η ζωή των προσφύγων δεν θεωρούταν τόσο φτηνή από τους «αρμόδιους»,
• αν η η συμφωνία της ντροπής ΕΕ-Ελλάδας-Τουρκίας δεν ήταν ένας μηχανισμός που παράγει διαρκώς θάνατο, πόνο και βαρβαρότητα.

Συγκέντρωση διαμαρτυρίας Τετάρτη 4/4, 6.30 μμ Σύνταγμα

The struggle of the 35 migrants is our own struggle

On 18 July 2017 the Police carried out an unprovoked and shockingly fierce attack inside the horridly inhumane detention camp of Moria on Lesvos island, targeting migrants (primarily of African descent) following a peaceful demonstration against the containment policy which keeps the majority of asylum seekers detained on the Greek islands during the lengthy and delayed processing of their asylum applications.They were also protesting against the horrible living conditions inMoria Camp. After clashes that had been initiated by the Police had ended, the police carried out a violent raid, during which a "sweep operation" took place, leading to the brutal and arbitrary arrest of the 35, as apparent collective punishment. The Police violently and mercilessly beat anyone that stood in their way resulting in serious injury to numerous refugees and migrants. Beatings and torture continued even after the arrests of the 35 that were detained. The sole basis for their arrest seems to be the colour of their skin as the African community of migrants had clearly been targeted. The government of Syriza-Anel holds full responsibility for the excessive police violence and for the seamless collaboration between the State and non – State actors who act as agents of the State.

8 months after the arrests, 30 of the 35 remain in prison in pre-trial detention, in four separate Greek State Prisons. The remaining 5 have been released with restrictive measures on Lesvos island awaiting trial. The serious criminal charges faced by the entire group are identical.

Recently, their trial date was set for the 20 April on Chios, rather than Lesvos, adding to the difficulty of defending the accused 35 migrants. The migrants are completely impoverished and unable to pay the defense lawyers of their choice let alone the costs of transportation and accommodation during trial. Furthermore, a number of witnesses that are currently residing in Moria will be unable to be present as travel between the two islands is forbidden due to restrictive administrative orders. In effect, the decision of relocating the trial to Chios instead of Lesvos infringes upon the very rights to a fair defense of the 35 accused.

Several NGO's that had committed to the legal defense of the accused during the past months have recently withdrawn from the case without providing a convincing or valid explanation as to the reasons of their actions. The motive for this departure could well be the pressure applied by the governments that currently finance these organizations.

All of the above provides evidence that the government remains committed to the motives behind the EU-TURKEY deal, and wishes to marginalize the 35 accused using them as an example to make it clear to all involved in solidarity actions, that such actions will receive zero tolerance.

We publicly condemn and denounce the actions of the government and all state actors for their manipulative actions that blatantly violate the right to defense of the accused.

We call upon workers, all Greek people, and international solidarity activists, in particular the youth to support and stand in solidarity side by side with the 35 migrants and assist in defending their democratic rights and freedoms. We wish to clarify, in all manners of speaking, that we are in fact one with the migrants and we will continue to fight this righteous struggle against the devaluation of all our lives.

As the Lesvos Coordination of Movements of Solidarity to all Refugees and Migrants we support the 35 arrested and demand their release.

·         Common fights of locals and refugees

·         The fabricated allegations that led to the criminal charges on the 35 should be withdrawn

·         Immediate release of the 35 refugees

·         No conviction of any of the 35

·         No deportation of any of the accused

·         NO to all brutal treatment  of  migrants by the EU and the government

·         Protection-Asylum and full rights for all refugees and migrants

·         Freedom of movement so that they be allowed to reach the final destinations of their choice-Open the islands

·         Stop all deportations NOW

·         EU-Turkey-Libyan racist agreements abolishment.

·         To stop wars, interventions, close NATO bases, Frontex leave Aegean sea,

We support all acts of solidarity towards the 35 refugees/migrants!

The collective demands, the united front and solidarity, the unyielding and uncompromising struggle will lead us to victory!

This resolution is an open call for signatures and public support by all the Associations, groups and Unions.

of Solidarity to all
