There is a new program of the refugee congress here (also in french).

It is high time to abolish lagers and all racist laws against refugees and migrants. Every human being deserves the right to dignity  and dream for a world not characterized by trauma and insecurity. The culture of lager in connection with all racist laws that offends
the fundamental human rights to criminalize refugees, encourage arbitrary use of decree and state dimension of racial profiling has reached its abolition. Refugees are confined to specific area like prisoners and could only leave the district with permission that is often rejected at the  discretion of the foreign officers. Furthermore, deportation, lager Isolation, movement restriction amongst many other scandalous forms of persecution has been the  instrument of separating families and communities hence the inevitable need to protest colonial injustice. Much could be done to stop the institutional racism of
lager to drastically reduce suicide and murder, trauma and psycho torture, sexual attacks on refugees. We demand Immediate closure of all Lagers in Germany, Decentralization of refugees in standard accommodation! Resistance to policies of forced isolation. Abolition of unjust controls and “Residenzpflicht” Stop the daily repression of refugeesEnd to violation of the basic rights to education and medical attention.

ABOLISH „Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz“ and „Residenzpflicht“ – Let’s break the isolation from the lagers – self liberation of the oppressed!

Refugees all over Germany are fighting every day against the institutional racism, isolation and violation of their dignity through instruments of exclusion imposed on them. There has been ongoing struggles through refugees call for self liberation from the german racist persecution in many lagers. By self organisation networking and in solidarity between refugee and non refugee activists, refugees have been engaged in protest actions, hunger strikes, boycotts and civil disobedience to bring out the message: „We were on strike last winter, because in our lager in Niederbayern, we are living so isolated that we are soon going crazy. Here is nothing but forest. We cannot work, we cannot get away from here. I can’t even buy my own food. Every day is just the same, without any change and without any hope. But we want to live as human beings – this is our right, equally as for the German people. This is why the laws which treat us in an inhumane way have to be abolished now,“ says Suldan Abdallah from Somalia, who is staying in a lager in Böbrach in the Bavarian Forest. For this aim, we have to rise up together!

For this reason, refugees and those interested to show their solidarity with the refugee struggle are invited to come together in Berlin from 9th till 11th of June for three days of action and conference to set up a powerful sign against racist and discriminating laws! Continue reading →
