Reports from The VOICE – Thüringen Refugee community meeting in the camps and lagers on the struggles and tragedies of refugee coming to Germany
Refugees meeting in the lagers of Apolda, Beulwitz (Saalfeld) and Eisenberg:
Fight the Fear and Insecurity here! Rroma Refugee Speaks out in Beulwitz
(Saalfeld) >>> See Video: http://vimeo.com/88739746
In early March 2014, a series of meetings of the Thüringen refugee community has started with a meeting in Beulwitz (Saalfeld) on the refugee protest March to Brussels and the struggle of the Roma to stop their deportation from Thüringen.
Refugees in Beulwitz (Saalfeld) and Apolda have been informed about the refugee protest march to Brussels. For the first time they have the possibility to be part of the action and to fight for our rights and against this continuous system of the injustice that refugee suffered in the isolation and deprivation to live a life of human dignity in Germany.
Nevertheless some of us are worried and curious about this action and its strength to break the EUROPEAN BORDER, as in Germany more restriction of movement still exists than in the other European countries.
In the refugees meeting in Beulwitz (Saalfeld) and Apolda the similarities in their various situations in the Lagers were much emphasised. It was reported on deportation threats and deportations, the exclusion and discrimination of Roma including the lack of adequate health care in Beulwitz (Saalfeld).
In Jena we met 29.03.with Refugees from Eisenberg Reception Camp to discuss the threats of deportation on Forceful Fingerprinting by Dublin regulations against the migrants. We discussed the repression of the Afghanistan refugees from Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Hungary and Poland and their situation in their camp, as well as the problems of the African refugees from Congo, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Kenya who arrived Italy waiting for the uncertainty within the social exclusion here and the daily deportation threats that the refugees are already facing from Germany. More Afghans’ asylum applicant’s decisions are delayed for several months or years of refusal of decisions by the Federal Office for Migration to answer our demand in dignity of human right. The refugee are angry that they were only registered their personal identities and how they arrive from other countries to Germany without questions on information on their persecutions, oppression and human rights abuses they suffered on the way and here in the reception camps.
Many of the refugees are eager to learn without right to vocational training or trades, without the right attend further education and without the right to work.
Activists in the lagers complained of the lack of meeting places and communication service, without internet access in the lagers. There is the stigmatization by refugee food coupons which still exist only in Greiz and Apolda in Thüringen, there is the intimidation of refugees meeting with their visitors as public threat and violation of the refugees housing, even when the refugees are part of our refugees meeting in the Lager of Jena their right of freedom of assembly is violated as we found out.
We are preparing for a refugee meeting and discussion on Mahmoud Yassine, refugee activist from Breitenwrbis calling for the closure of his refugee camp. The declaration of The VOICE Refugee Forum initiative Breitenworbis on the situation in Breitenworbis was delivered to the politicians and the state administrators hearing in the district parliament of Eichsfeld in Heiligenstadt on 26th of March 2014.
