She has been living in the Netherlands for about three years, and after a long term wait for getting asylum, on February 13, 2021, she tried to kill herself by taking a large number of pills to protest the oppressive asylum system of the Netherlands. She had been asking the COA for weeks to at least transfer her to another camp, but since the COA even refused such request, she risked her life to protest against the oppressive structure of Dutch asylum process. At the moment, she is still in the hospital.

Als onderdeel van een internationale dag van rouw, organiseert Mad Pride Nederland op 1 maart een online herdenking voor mensen met een beperking die zijn vermoord door hun familie en verzorgers.

THE STATES MURDERS, WE WILL NOT LET IT HAPPEN
It’s been more than 50 days that the Greek political prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas is under hunger strike while on the 22nd of February he also started a thirst strike protesting against his treatment by the Greek Government.
Last year we had many plans and many folks helping us to put those plans into action... and then COVID.
So now, with a year of online events, smaller working groups and actions, and even farming activities, we feel ready to start up our good old format of open campaign meetings to collectively make some plans for the coming spring and summer!
The meeting will consist of some updates about what has been going on with ASEED this year, introductions of the currently running working groups, time to get to know one another, and space for people to bring in ideas that they have for the campaign.
We as Vrije Bond Utrecht stand in solidarity with Greek comrade Dmitris Koufodinas who is a victim of a vendetta campaign by the Mitsakis family under the guise of the Greek Justice System. We support his wishes to stay in his old prison, and have respect for his dedication to his hunger strike. We also want to voice protest against the corrupt oligarchy that de facto rules Greece, and that they stop meddling in the convictions of these political prisoners.
