The Refugee Initiative Möhlau Wittenberg
The Refugee Initiative Möhlau Wittenberg is an Initiative of refugees themselves who united together to express their feelings and sufferings, who are directly affected by the decisions of the local government which include the social welfare and the foreign office to which they were being attributed to live without perspectives. They are the victims, they experienced and are still suffering from the horrible treatment of the authorities of the lager of Möhlau.
The Refugees Initiative Möhlau Wittenberg are concerned about the systematic destructio of the future perspectives and ambitions of innocent refugees and migrants living in the different local governments in " Sachsen Anhalt" and as well as in the local government of Wittenberg, the treatment are eligible to be compared to the treatments of other Local government to which also other refugees are assigned. For example
1. As you all know the "Möhlau lager" finds itself totally isolated, in the middle of the federal reserved forest and the position of the lager is also critical for refugees that have been abandoned there for many years, with the interdiction of not having the right to money especially African refugees. Not only have they been interdicted not to have access to money, the refugees also have no nearby shopping centres where they could easily go and buy what they need with the unjustified vouchers called "Gutscheine"
Some other local governments have recognising the inhuman treatment it consist and abolished the introduction of "Gutsheine" with another alternatives. This should be an example to which the local government Wittenberg should put in consideration.
2. During the winter times, it is unacceptable to live in Möhlau in such conditions of very low and icy temperature. Together with the cold temperature, there is no train station and the irregular bus that could be available makes it difficult for refugees to live in such a condition. Trying to ride a bicycle in a cold weather is not the solution, rather it could contribute to health dangers and leads to some chronic sicknesses which could not be healed and can lead to death.
Refugees criticised the hygienic conditions of the so called Möhlau lager whereby it is publicly known that the building infrastructure itself is old and having been built in an isolated area, only bushes surround the refugees. This leads to the invasion through rats and mice. Refugees are fighting against this mice invasion and sometimes snakes.
Refugees feel insecure and fear that they could be attacked while anything can happen in the forest.
Families are also involved in these sufferings, children of different origins and part of the world, innocent as they are, have been branded and treated like criminals only because they are refugees.
The Refugee Initiative criticised and protested against these inhumane conditions and are going to be protesting as far as these treatments persist in the local government to which they have been forced to live. For example, it is generally known from the refugees themselves that the local government of Wittenberg do less to accord residence permits, even "Kette duldung" to those who merited it according to the federal law of residence. To that, the Africans are highly victimised.
The Refugee Initiative Möhlau is signalling and calling for change, at the same time thanking all human right groups and activists, politicians, associations and organisation who are contributing to support innocent refugees with the aim of respecting human dignity, who recognised the difficulties to which the innocent refugees were forced to live without freedom of movement, freedom of work and exclusion from the society without integration.
We the Refugee Initiative are demanding the abolition of the systematic deportation of refugees to where their lives were and are still in danger, in the countries where they fled from. By executing these deportations, it contributes to the killing of innocent refugees.
We the Refugee Initiative are demanding for our rights according to the residential law of every citizen living in Germany.
• our right to work
• our right to freedom of circulation
• our right to integration
• our right of living in peace without been terrorised by anyone
• the right to recognise the right of stateless refugees according to united nation conventions,
• to treat refugees with full dignity and respect
• to stop criminalising refugees
• to be fair in the interpretation of the law
These reasons were one of the causes of our cry and we should not be silent as far as there is no change and we are calling for solidarity
