The VOICE Refugee Forum - Celebrating Ten Years of active resistance. 1994 - 2004 in Germany

The VOICE Refugee Forum - Celebrating Ten Years of active resistance.

In October this year, The VOICE Refugee Forum will be celebrating its tenth year anniversary. Founded in 1994 by four African refugees in Jena, it was aimed at fighting against discrimination and racism as well as against the deplorable and inhuman conditions which refugees were (and are still) subjected to in Thüringen and
Germany in general. This was against the background that refugee rights are continuously trampled upon or completely denied by state officials including the police.

KAFKA'S CASTLE REVISITED: URGENT APPEAL FOR A STATELESS PERSON AT THE MERCY OF EUROPEAN BUREAUCRACY !

2004-04-16 | This particular stateless person, Brian, after over 22 years in Europe and now existing in Luxembourg, has for all these years been denied the right to medical and financial support and is still not allowed the right to work, while being treated as a nuisance by bureaucrats who shuffle his case from desk to desk.

Would it really disturb the balance of the European Union to allow an intelligent, hard working and well educated man to work to maintain himself with some dignity ?
