Wednesday 27: Target café .on NoBorder Camps Calais & Lesvos Target café - 20.05.2009 13:15
All included kicks off an info-tour on the two NoBorder Camps of this summer – Calais (France) June 23-29 and Lesvos (Greece) August 25-31. http://london.noborders.org.uk/calais2009 The Calais No Border camp is a joint venture between French and Belgian activists and migrant support groups and the UK No Borders Network. It aims to highlight the realities of the situation in Calais and Northern France; to build links with the migrant communities; to help build links between migrants support groups; and lastly, but not least, to challenge the authorities on the ground, to protest against increased repression of migrants and local activists alike. http://lesvos09.antira.info/ Repression has no place on our boat ..... In the last few years the island of Lesvos has represented one of the main entrance gates for thousands of refugees and migrants seeking to reach Europe. Packed in tiny plastic boats they try to cross the sea border between Turkey and Greece but some of them can't make it. More than 1.100 migrants and refugees have lost their lives that way in Aegean sea the last 20 years. The Lesvos No Border camp is a collaboration of Greek and Turkish activists. One of their aims is to highlight the harsh border control activities of Frontex* in this region. Target café - Wednesday May 27 OT301 (Overtoom 301 Amsterdam) 19.30 uur (program starts at 20.00) more upcoming info-nights will be announced soon. Most likely in Den Bosch, Nijmegen, Zwolle, Utrecht and Leiden. http://www.allincluded.nl *on Frontex: http://allincluded.nl/index.php/actie/campagne-tegen-frontex Website: http://dissent.nl |
