CALL AND CHARGE

Aufruf und Anklageschrift in deutsch

Three years, 11 months and 1 day after the death of Oury Jalloh in Cell No. 5 of the police station in Dessau, the two policemen accused of his death have been acquitted of negligence. Numerous actions and nationwide informational events carried out by the Initiative in Memory of Oury Jalloh and various other refugee and migrant self organisations were the principal reason that a trial was even opened in the first place. Because the entire police and the State Prosecutor of Dessau did everything in their power to bury it, the court proved incapable of uncovering the truth.

In remembrance of Oury

The cell is a hard place to burn
To burn a young man alive
to burn a young life alive
to burn hopes and dreams alive
to break our motherly sisterly brotherly heart

The cell is a hard place
to torn a security system apart
to push humanity apart
to torn iron bars
to crush our African flesh

The cell is supposed to be an egg
To protect and allow to restore and grow
Not a playing ground for fallen angels
Not a grey nasty silent killing field
Not a death row

Na e bi
Na e bi nje boli mba e
But many of those who rule
And many of those who wear
