DEMO: NO BORDERS means standing for a FREE PALESTINE!


No Border Assembly & Abolish Deportation Prison BER invite you for a demonstration:
While an ongoing genocide is being carried out in Palestine, the German government is doubling down on its colonial alliance with the state of Israel and the racist German border regime. We see this in its unconditional support of the genocidal bombing of Gaza and in its heavy police repression of protests in solidarity with Palestine here in Germany. Politicians are calling for the deportation of people committed to a free Palestine and Chancellor Scholz is vowing to start “deporting on a grand scale.” While the government is developing a law to harshen the deportation system, the so-called “Repatriation Improvement Act,” Palestinians and other Arab people on the streets are being labeled anti-semitic, repressed and criminalized for calling out genocide and expressing solidarity with Palestine.

WHEN: Thursday, 16.11 18:00
WHERE: Oranienplatz (Kreuzberg)

Stop killing refugees! In Tunisia, Libya and elsewhere

FRANCAIS EN BAS / DEUTSCH UNTEN

Rally on Saturday, 5 August 2023, 4 p.m.
Representation of the European Commission in Berlin (Unter den Linden 78, 10117 Berlin).

Tunisian authorities have abandoned hundreds of Black people in the desert on the borders with Libya and Algeria in recent weeks. Without food, without water and without protection from 50 degrees Celsius. At least 17 people have died so far as a result of this despicable act, including 30-year-old Fati Dosso and her 6-year-old daughter Marie. The two had previously managed to survive in Libya and were now seeking refuge and protection in Tunisia.

Join the Protest Camp against Deportations!

Rally: No Business with Deportation Airlines!

🟣 Rally on Tuesday, 7 March 2023 @12:30
🟣 Location: Messe-Berlin Eingang Süd / Jafféstraße, 14055
Organised by Abolish Frontex & No Border Assembly

A list of around 13 charter-airlines are collaborating with the German state to enact more than 200 mass deportation charter flights each year. Multiple times each week, this form of racist police violence takes place: police storm people’s homes around Germany during midnight deportation raids in an attempt to fill entire planes, which are specifically rented for mass deportation. These airlines pocket the cash, which comes from the budgets of FRONTEX, EU’s agency of border violence. Even if the state is the primary perpetrator of deportations, let us not be silent about those that profit from this! We condemn both the state and the dirty profiteers!

The plan is to start construction of this new center in the next months and aim to have it in operation from 2025. We, as “Abschiebezentrum BER Verhindern” call on everyone to loudly and fiercely take the streets and block with us this racist and neo-colonial plan! Therefore you are invited to join us on the street during a Bicycle Demo starting at Hermannplatz 13:00 going to Schönefeld, next to the planned construction site. From 15:00 until 19:00 we will protest in Schönefeld with a Küfa, Concerts and Speeches.

🔎 POLITICAL TOURS 🔎
There will be short, small-group walks from the protest to politically relevant location nearby, such as the current deportation prison, the usual starting point of charter-deportations, etc.

💥 PROTEST AGAINST DEPORTATION 💥
Let’s remember this is not a party! It’s placed next to a current deportation prison. We will be loud and angry: let’s use the space to get to know the area and each other, so we can be strong in the upcoming years of resistance.

📣 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15: PROTESTS IN FRONT OF ITALIAN EMBASSIES IN BERLIN, BRUSSELS, MADRID…AND IN YOUR CITY!

Refugees in Libya started their protests in October 2021 – yet the conditions for refugees in Libya remain the same. They are exposed to structural violence, arbitrary detention in inhumane conditions, torture, enslavement and murder. People are still drowning in the Mediterranean daily or being pulled back by both the so-called Libyan coast guard (LYCG) and the newly established Stability Support Apparatus (SSA). The European Union (EU) is contributing to these atrocities daily by funding and training the so-called LYCG and supporting structures, which are holding the current system in place.

Still, the echo of the protest of Refugees in Libya is ignored in the European public discourse.

Scandal about the planned deportation center at BER Airport – No deportation center anywhere!

Press release from 03.08.2022

“Today’s publications by FragDenStaat, rbb and the ARD political magazine Kontraste demonstrate the questionable means the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior is resorting to in order to push through the construction of a deportation center at BER Airport, bypassing its own coalition partner and the state parliament. It is not only a political scandal to keep these plans secret even from the own finance minister. From the very beginning, the Ministry of the Interior intransparently cooperated with a flimsy investor, which is later presented as the supposedly only option.

The real scandal is that a deportation center is being built at BER in which refugees are deliberately isolated and locked up. Planned is a deportation detention center to hold 120 people and perspectively the center could even be expanded to a deportation prison,” says the press spokeswoman of the initiative “Stop Deportation Center BER” Alexis Martel.

“The shady deals of the company Harder & Partner were and are known to the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior. Apparently, Jürgen B. Harder can determine the political conditions in favor of its new large-scale construction site “deportation prison”. This is in his interest: Because millions can be earned with the racist business.

While European governments are increasingly undermining the right to asylum, Brandenburg and the federal government are pushing for even more deportations. Since the plans for the deportation center became known, we have made it clear: No one is illegal. We stand against all forms of racist detention of refugees, whether it is called custody pending departure, deportation detention center or airport asylum procedure.

We do not accept the systematic racist oppression, deportation and discrimination of people! That is why we resist the detention and deportation of people and will prevent the deportation center at BER. Our resistance has only just begun.”

No deportation center at BER airport!
No deportation center anywhere!
