Protest against interior ministers' conference from the 19th to 21st of November 2003 in Jena
Humanrights is not a privilege!
Invitation from the Caravan co-ordination meeting to the next nationwide preparatory meeting on 11.10.2003 at 1pm in the Umweltbibliothek, Schillergäschen, Jena.
The VOICE Refugee Forum and The Caravan for the rights of refugees and migrants invite you to participate in the preparatory meeting for the protest actions with the relatives and friends of victims of the German
politics of social exclusion against refugees and migrants during the internal ministers conference on the 20-21 November 2003, in Jena.
The protest call will demand from the conference: "Equal rights for all and deportation stop now".
We will inform ourselves and protest the state politics of social exclusion that violate the refugees daily freedom and personal development by isaolation, deportation and criminalisation: Especially we protest against the restriction of movement of refugees and migrants in Germany by "Residenzpflicht".
Immigrants are criminalized through use of the residence law in order to boost the statistics on crimes committed by foreigners. It's just "crimes" which cannot be committed by Germans. (Cornelius Yufanyi, Aktivist von the Voice Refugee Forum)
Peter Voss, retired priest from Löhn, critized the German foreigner politics. 150 000 people are waiting for their deportation at the moment, increasingliy in socalled "Ausreisezentren" where they become people without legal status. "The politic has made the foreign authorities to deportation authorities." said Voss.
There will be demonstrations, rallies, campaigns, hearing and discussions on Deportation and Residenzpflicht with international solidarity events for Togo, Roma and Iran.
We will express our solidarity with the refugees and their political stuggles in Thueringen/Germany
The 3 days protest from 19 to 21 of November 2003 in Jena will offer cultural varieties with percussions and bands concert and exhibitions, including street arts of resistance and fun.
Organising groups of the Caravanfor the rights of refugees from Bielefeld, Hamburg, Bremen, Munich and Thueringen and representatives of the Roma caravan, as well as the Jugendaktions- und Projektwerkstatt and other groups in Thueringen will be participating in this weekend preparatory meeting in Jena.
Donations towards campaigns, transportation, mobilisation, visit to refugee camps and printing cost, organisation and realisation of the meetings and events with refugees and migrants will be highly welcomed.
