On Saturday September 22, there will be a demonstration through The Hague city center under the motto, "No Person is Illegal." We are a group of refugees who have been refused asylum by the Dutch government and have been staying in a tent camp since Sept. 19 on the Koekamp in the Hague. We would like to demonstrate with as many people as possible for a humane solution to our lack of rights and for a kinder refugee policy in general. We would also like to inform as many people as possible about the tent camp and our situation.
We want a humane solution for all refugees! We are deported refugees who can't go back to the land that we come from. We can't be sent away, but also receive no residence permit. Because of this, we live without basic human rights, which everyone is entitled to. We are not only fighting for the people in our situation, but for all of the refugees who instead of being cared for are put away in asylum seekers' centers, detention centers or are left to fend for themselves on the street without healthcare, shelter, and the prospect of a decent existence. A country such as the Netherlands should care for people who leave their homeland in order to make a normal life for themselves. This is everyone's right! People do not flee without reason!
Support and help mobilize! Help us make this a successful demonstration. Spread this message on Facebook, twitter, or on your own website or blog. Would your organization or action-group like to support the protest? Send an e-mail to rechtopbestaan (at) gmail.com.
Let us show with as many people as possible that an end must come to this inhuman policy! We want to live!
Location: Tent Camp Recht op Bestaan (Koekamp Den Haag)
Time: 14:00
No Person is Illegal!
