Solidaritätserklärung: Solidarität mit der Roten Hilfe!

Laut einem Bericht des Focus plant Bundesinnenminister Horst
Seehofer (CSU) ein Verbot der Solidaritätsorganisation Rote Hilfe e.V.. Dies
fügt sich ein in den derzeitigen gesellschaftlichen Diskurs:

Ob Verschärfungen von Polizeigesetzen oder das Verbot von linksunten.indymedia – der Rechtsruck geht einher mit Repressionen gegen die, die sich dagegen wehren; so auch gegen linke Aktivist*innen. Um diese Repressionen noch effizienter und wirksamer
umsetzen zu können, werden wichtige und strömungsübergreifende Strukturen wie die Rote Hilfe kriminalisiert.

 

Solidarität ist eine Waffe, aber kein Verbrechen!

Die Rote Hilfe ist eine legitime Organisation, die Menschen, welche
von staatlichen Repressionen betroffen sind, unterstützt. Sie ist
eine essentielle Struktur für alle die links-politisch aktiv sind. Ein
Verbot der Roten Hilfe ist ein weiterer Angriff auf uns alle und auf
die Idee einer besseren Zukunft – die Idee Solidarität.

Die Kampagne „You can’t evict Solidarity” erklärt sich deshalb
solidarisch mit der Roten Hilfe!

[Harmanli21] 4 Angeklagte weiter in Haft – andere zur “freiwilligen” Rückkehr gezwungen

Harmanli 21: Four stay in Lyubimets – the others have asked for repatriation

Publiziert am 29. November 2018 von mf

On the 24th and 25th of October 2018 another court session against the Harmanli 21 took place. The session was attended by seven people out of the 10 people who attended the last court cases. It was reported, that the three missing people have already asked for repatriation and they have returned to Afghanistan. Furthermore three other people out of the seven had as well asked for their repatriation. That means that at the moment four out the initial 21 accused are continuing to stay in the closed facility of Luybimets. They claimed that they will struggle to prove their innocence.

During the two days of the trial in October 30 witnesses of the events from the 24th of November 2016 were testifying. Many of them were representatives of the riot police from Kazanlak, Pleven and Plovdiv and some employees of the State Agency for Refugees (SAR), in particular the ones who are working in the Open Camp of Harmanli. Since now, no accused migrant was allowed to speak about his own perspective. Because of that since the beginning of the trial the police violence was not mentioned once in front of the court. Although the official and appointed defenders (from the state) were shortly asked about it, but they claimed that the accused did not say anything on this topic.

It is interesting to hear that during the quarantine, the camp was totally overcrowded and  it is quite astonishing that the access to the working places of the SAR employees at the open camp in Harmanli was not denied. Neither police members nor SAR workers could identify the accused migrants as part of the group of 50 people who were rioting in November 2016 – out of several thousands who were living there during this moment and protesting peacefully.

Bordermonitoring Bulgaria (BMB) notes that it is very obvious that the Bulgarian State is not interested in a clear enlightenment of what happened on the 24th of November 2016. Instead of that people, who once fled their country and once were registered as asylum seekers in Bulgaria, are urged to leave the country ‚voluntarily‘
