Migrants fly back home

 A group of 61 undocumented migrants from Pakistan and Afghanistan boarded a charter flight bound for Islamabad and Kabul on October 19.

 
 
This was the fifth expulsion flight to take off since March when Greece deported some 73 Dominicans. They were accompanied by 139 police officers and two doctors. European Union regulation requires two police officers to escort each immigrant on a flight.
 
 
So far this year, a total 335 undocumented migrants have been flown back to their country of origin.
 
The number of undocumented migrants in Greece is at a record 470,000 - a 60-percent increase compared to 2008 - according to the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy.

HASSAN SAMEDI: CARTOONS AGAINST CORRUPTION

A bold political cartoonist demands freedom of the press in Afghanistan.

To many, Hassan Samedi’s work might not appear very dangerous, but the government of Afghanistan views it as a lethal threat. As a political cartoonist, Samedi criticizes the absurdities and contradictions of the state. Newspapers have been closed in response to his work, and he has received numerous threats for his commentary on government waste and the flawed rule of law under a U.S.-supported regime. This short film explores Samedi’s bold work and hears about the consequences he has faced for exercising freedom of expression in Afghanistan.

Focus on Afghanistan: CoR Short Films

Mainstream media coverage of the war in Afghanistan has overlooked much of the positive, grassroots efforts for a more peaceful society, focusing instead on politicians vying for the next inch of political advantage. At the same time, NATO forces' misguided approaches to gaining control in the country have also gone under-reported. The three short films below highlight a couple positive developments in the war-torn nation, and shed light on one highly ineffectual practice being carried out by the coalition forces.



Picture Afghanistan: Teaching Photojournalism in a War-torn Country

Photojournalists from around the world have been sent to Afghanistan to capture the human toll of the war there. However, we rarely see the work of Afghan photographers who can bring a local perspective to what is happening in their country. That is why the 3rd Eye Photojournalism Center trains young Afghanis to work with cameras, set up websites, and critically evaluate media depictions of their communities. As program graduate Zekria Gulistani says, “Most of the photographers who come to Afghanistan are only coming to go to provinces where there is always fighting.” Pointing to a picture of a young boy building a structure out of stone bricks, Gulistani continues, “Even if the there is fighting, we have people who are already interested in starting their new lives in Afghanistan. So we need photographers who show the lives of the people.” This short film takes a look at those rarely seen pictures, and it profiles the young people who will shape the future of photojournalism in Afghanistan.

Dublin regulation leaves asylum seekers with their fingers burnt

Refugees are deported back to the first EU country they entered, often Italy or Greece, which have the worst welfare provisio

Awet spreads his hands out and shows us his scarred fingertips. "He burned his fingertips so he could apply for asylum like a new person," explains his friend.
A group of men are gathered in the back room of a large squat on the outskirts of Rome, talking about their struggle to beat the European asylum system. They explain that it is common for asylum seekers to burn their fingers, so the fingerprint record of their entry into Italy is destroyed.
Awet mimes placing his hands on a hob. "But after five days … [he holds up his hands to show that the burns have healed] normal," he says, clapping them together with a disappointed sigh.
The Anagnina squat, in a disused glass-fronted office block, looms large over the surrounding industrial estate. The building is home to around 700 migrants and refugees, including families, from four trouble spots of north-eastern Africa: Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia.
The satellite dishes on the front of the building are redundant and many of the windows have been smashed. Children's toys scatter the dimly lit corridors. Beds consist of simple mattresses or cardboard on the floor, and there is no hot water or heating. Electricity is sporadic, and there are only a few toilets for the hundreds who live here.
As the other men lean in around him, keen to describe the impossibility of building a new life in Italy, Awet waves his green refugee card that shows he came from Eritrea. "Italy is bad. No work, no house, nothing."
Like all the others, he soon left and travelled to Norway, but when it was discovered that he had already been fingerprinted in Italy he was deported back. Awet clutches a tattered Norwegian identity card as he talks.
Under EU law, asylum seekers have to remain in the first European country they enter. This is known as the "Dublin" regulation after the 1990 summit at which the original system was adopted (coming into force seven years later).
For many European countries including the UK, Dublin is a key tool in a regime of tough border controls, allowing refugees to be deported back to Europe's southern border countries where they first entered the EU. Countries such as Italy and Greece, with minimal welfare provision for refugees, receive the most Dublin returns each year because so many of the asylum seekers who land there do not wish to stay.
To the men in this hot, dark room and to thousands more who attempt to beat the system each year, Ireland's capital city is a dirty word. "Dublin is a virus," Awet says. "Yes, Dublin is like Aids."
The rest all nod – they too have been fingerprinted in Italy, and know they will never be "cured". Sitting in a circle, they list the places they have tried to start afresh: Norway, England, Switzerland, Sweden, England again.
David, 21, arrived here four years ago, travelling overland from Ethiopia, through Libya and across the Mediterranean. "I told them I was 17, they gave me €200 and told me to go anywhere I liked. They put me in the street. So I came here."
Finding no work, David decided to travel on to the UK. "There they gave me a one-bedroom flat, I started at Bedford college, I learned English and they gave me £55 a week. I was happy." He smiles sadly. "Then they found my fingerprints." As soon as he was 18, David was deported, and returned to the Anagnina squat: "I felt sad, I cried." He says life is not possible here in Italy: "No, no life here. Just living."
These homeless refugees are part of a legal and diplomatic battle currently being fought all over Europe. Italy, which like Greece is struggling with the twin pressures of the financial crisis and a large increase in north-African migrants from this year's uprisings, says the Dublin regulation is adding to its burden. Removals to Greece, meanwhile, have been suspended across much of the EU because of the severe conditions there, pending the outcome of a test case in the European court of justice.
Human rights lawyers in Britain are also trying to stop asylum seekers being sent back to Italy. They say the lack of support and housing in Italy is leaving thousands, at all stages of the asylum process, living in dangerous and unsanitary squats like Anagnina, or on the street.
The Dublin regulation was introduced partly to avoid "asylum shopping", wherein people like David and Awet might be drawn to better welfare systems in countries such as the UK and Norway. Critics of the Italian system say welfare is crucial to help integrate refugees, and the lack of welfare in Italy is an urgent problem.
"We speak about legislation but forget to translate this into a life," says Laura Boldrini, spokesperson for the UN refugee agency UNHCR in Italy.
"Refugees don't know the language, they may be traumatised, they are lost and don't know what to do – rebuilding a life is not a joke. International protection becomes a box with no key; to open it you need integration."
The British government is, nonetheless, fighting hard to keep the Dublin regulation in place, and in a case before the high court next Tuesday, the Home Office will argue that Italy is a safe country, with enough support available for all those in the asylum system.
It is midnight at Termini station in central Rome, and the streets are still busy with tourists and late-night drinkers. But it takes only minutes to find some recent arrivals to Italy who have struggled to settle.
Siako and his friends are lying on pieces of cardboard at the back of the station. They stand out from the other homeless who sleep, often passed out from drink, all along the street, because they are young, clean and smartly dressed. Many are listening to music on headphones. But Siako, 23, is fizzing with anger. He jumps to his feet, pulls out his refugee accreditation and unfolds it, shaking it in the air. He waves his arms around, pointing at his sleeping friends: "He has documents, he has documents – over there, they all have documents. But we all sleep on the street.
"Frankly, in Africa, if someone had told me that Italy was like this, I would have said he was lying. If someone said that even when you have the legal papers you still sleep on the street, I would've said that's wrong, that's not possible. You must see it to believe it."
As he talks, a van pulls up and hearty-looking Americans get out and pass round bags of sandwiches. The men take them without smiling. "We came from Ivory Coast to escape the war, through Libya," Siako explains. "And now we are sleeping on the street."
His friend looks up and says, "I was crying here yesterday, thinking about my papa at home dying. Italian people walk past and they think I'm crazy. Everybody is going crazy here because they have no home."
Siako's story is typical: he was given accommodation in a camp at first while his claim was processed. But once he was recognised as a refugee, he was on his own. Unlike in the UK or other northern European countries, in Italy there is almost no integration for refugees once they are given protection, and no welfare support. Many refugees describe a life that is a constant struggle for basic survival, walking for hours across Rome to get food at handouts from churches or NGOs.
Dr Lê Quyên Ngô Dình is a director at Caritas, one of Rome's biggest refugee charities. She says the introduction of the Dublin rules changed the pressures on Italy, but the country has yet to change its system in response. There are reception camps that offer a short and limited initial stay to nearly all asylum seekers, but only 3,000 spaces in the official integration accommodation that follows. The interior ministry says there have been 10 times that many asylum seekers so far this year – plus the number of Dublin returns arriving at Rome airport alone has increased significantly – to between 10 and 20 a day.
"Ten years ago, Italy was a transit country, but since Dublin we have seen an increase in people staying here," Lê Quyên says. "And this is a big problem for Italy. The system is the one that worked 10 years ago; 3,000 beds was enough then, now it is not enough."
"If you get one of those, you get good care. But if not, you are on the street … You have the rights, but because the Italian welfare system is so weak – they are just rights on paper."
Christopher Hein, director of the Italian Refugee Council, says that court cases such as those being brought in the UK over conditions in Italy are a distraction, when what is actually required is a wholesale reform of the Dublin regulation. "I am not here to defend the Italian non-system of reception. But I sometimes feel this distracts from the real issue, which is the Dublin regulation itself."
Along with other refugee groups across Europe, Hein is working to have the Dublin system abolished.
"Human beings, a big percentage of whom have suffered violence and persecution in their country of origin or on the journey – they are just pushed from one place to another like a package … They are being re-traumatised by Dublin."
Hein wants a common EU asylum policy that would allow asylum seekers to choose the country they want to go to. It would, he says, allow refugees to join up with family and community support networks, and enable them to build a life, and work. "This would be far less costly for the social budgets of member states because it would facilitate integration."
One community that is drawn to the UK in particular is Afghans. Behind the last platform at Rome's busy Ostiense station, around 80 Afghans including several children live in a squalid, makeshift camp. They sleep in donated tents, holes ripped in their sides to release some of the suffocating summer heat.
There is a small standpipe for water and a few temporary toilets have been placed outside. Children run through piles of debris as commuters wait for trains on the other side of a chainlink fence.
Arif, a journalist from Afghanistan, was deported from the UK three weeks ago. Arif says he left his country with his life in danger, passing through Italy to get to the UK, where he has a brother. "But I knew I couldn't claim asylum in the UK because of my fingerprints".
Arif lived with his brother in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and worked illegally in a fast-food restaurant for four years. He says he didn't want to, but the Dublin system drove him underground. British immigration officials raided the restaurant last month and he was deported.
Arif says the British authorities told him that "everything in Italy would be OK". But after 20 days he has been offered no accommodation despite asking for help from the Italian authorities, and has ended up homeless and back at Ostiense station.
"I'm tired, tired of everything. I want to stay with my family in England, but because of Dublin I have to sleep here," he says, pointing at the tents under the railway bridge.
At the camp's gate, a group of young boys gather. Feroz, 16, has recently arrived from Afghanistan by boat, landing in Rimini.
He angrily tells us about his new neighbours, some of whom, he says, have already been sent back from other European countries. Others are very young and need help in Italy.
"This guy here is 12 years old. The government are deaf, they can't hear people. I want to ask other European countries: where is the help?"
He points at another friend, caught in the classic Dublin trap: "What can he do? He is 18, his family are in Sweden – but his fingerprint is in Italy

Dublin and Sweden

the Swedish Migration Board continues to deport minors and others to Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. At the moment, the Migration Board have considered asylum in Sweden for some very few Dublin cases to Malta.
In general, however, it's important to share reports about the bad situation of asylum
seekers' rights in the EU countries.
the chances of stopping deportations to Dublin countries are very very small, but it's still worth the effort to spread all information about the conditions of the countries that are part of the Dublin agreement area

Two immigrants dead in Evros region

Two sans-papiers immigrants died a tragic death shortly after 23:00 Friday night (October 7, 2011) when a train moving on the Alexandroupolis – Dikaia railway line ran over them. The two immigrants were walking on the train rails

More sans-papiers drown in the Ionian sea

On Friday, September 23,
a small boat that was trying to get to Italy carrying 65 Kurds and Afghans sans-papiers, broke 90 miles southwest of the island of Zakynthos.

Late in the afternoon, the same helicopter discovered the bodies

Revolt in Lampedusa: CIE in flames


CIE of Lampedusa set on fire by the Tunisians: “No deportations”
PALERMO
The elderly lock themselves in the house, the kids put a handkerchief to their mouth while the column of smoke blown by the mistral invades. Smell of plastic, scrap metal, burnt rubber. “A toxic cloud – dare someone – who knows how much crap we are breathing.” The sky turns from blue to gray, the airport closes, the police are unleashed to to look for hundreds of escaped Tunisians. And  Lampedusa falls again in the worst of nightmares, with two of the three warehouses in the centre of the district Imbriacola incinerated by the fire lit by a group of migrants exasperated by confinement and deportation. The anger, the fear of invasion, the memories of the old fire in February 2009 come back. Mayor Dino De Rubeis abandon all restraint and talks about war: “There is a population that cannot bear any longer, that wants to take to the streets with batons – he says – who should protect us has not done so. What we  expected , unheeded by the national government, has happened, with 1,500 immigrants who have proved to be people of ill repute. ” The deputy mayor Angela Maraventano, senator of the Northern League, shoots even bigger, “Tunis should compensate us and welcome them in the country’s prisons.”
Someone takes them to the letter, like the old man who observes the column of smoke: “I live with my wife and we are afraid – he says – the police and carabinieri should allow us to arm ourselves. They should give us a machine gun. I do not want to use it, just to scare them. ” Many other inhabitants of Lampedusa, however, are in the old port talking to the Tunisians, while  the rumor – unfounded – of five dead spreads. “In reality – explains the head of the clinic Pietro Di Bartolo – there are only a dozen intoxicated, none seriously.”
It was nearly 1,300, in the center, including four families with six small children. And the tension had been sky high for days, with migrants locked in increasingly crowded large rooms, terrified by the returns. “I arrived three days ago – said Mohammed, 27, a receptionist at a hotel in Susa remained unemployed – I only know that there were a lot of people complained about the food, really bad, always the same.” Only a fragment of a composite mosaic, the gust of a storm announced for weeks.  Since when - suspended the landings of sub-Saharan migrants from Libya swept by civil war – the Tunisians have started arrving again, the front  the Italian government had declared closed. “Economic migrants”, as they say in the jargon of the bureaucracy, that is, those who leave, not because they are persecuted, but  to improve their conditions of life, aspiration not contemplated by Italy, who sends them back home.
First some DIY landings , small inflatable boats with 6- 8 people, then more and more massive arrivals. The problem is that Tunisia takes them back very slowly (the agreement to return thirty per day has just been brought to a hundred) and deportation centers are packed, filled to the brim also because of the lengthening of time of permanence to eighteen months. So, once again, Lampedusa is a funnel with the exit hole closed. Contrada Imbriacola was certinly a powder keg. The other day a group of boys had managed to get out for a morning swim, and was recaptured in a hurry, because the categorical imperative is that the tourists must never come across a migrant.
“The other day - people say here on the pier – fifty Tunisians were shipped off to Tunis and then back, because it had arrived the ‘no’ to the repatriation.” Problems superated, according to the Interior Ministry, who attributes the revolt to the speed of tranfers and ensures that they will go forward with two flights a day. The prosecutor of Agrigento have opened an inquest against unknown persons , while the prefecture have been racking their brains until late evening to find a place for the Tunisians. At the end, one hundred were taken away in a military flight, three hundred were camping in the one building left standing in the burnt down centre, three hundred other lie down on the pier and the same number in the stadium. “In the end – says Paolo La Rosa, owner of a bed and breakfast – the people of Lampedusa and the Tunisians are the same, both abandoned

Greece: Racist attacks continue plaguing Athens

They stopped a public bus, held it for 15 minutes and attacked 4 immigrants that were on it. Then, they invaded at least ten houses and destroyed immigrants’ property.  Around 11pm, at the house of Sampir Hussein, the same fascist gang went to the extend of drawing guns. Two people that were at home were shot – the bullet passed close to the shoulder of one.Just outside the Aspropyrgos Police Station the same gang broke the car of a Pakistani immigrant who went there to report the attack at his house! The head of the local police said that the officers searched for the attackers, but did not find anyone!
  • Moreover, last Sunday, September 11 attacks unleashed again in St. Panteleimon leaving ten Afghans wounded.
  • On Thursday, September 8, a group of far-right thugs attacked Pakistani immigrants in the area around Village Park in Rendi. Around 16:30 they got on the bus 703, forced a group of Pakistani immigrants to get off the bus and beat them up.
  • According to witnesses of residents and immigrants, similar attacks took place also throughout the month of August by fascist groups of 15-20 people leaving dozens of Pakistani immigrants wounded.
  • In the area of Aghioi Anargyroi, ten days ago, they stabbed one immigrant from Bangladesh and attempted to set fire to a place of worship

عضو سابق مجلس افغانستان: رئیس جمهوری مسئول مرگ من خواهد بود

ک عضو سابق پارلمان افغانستان مقامات عالیرتبه کشور را مسئول مرگ احتمالی خود در اثر اعتصاب غذا دانسته است. سیمین بارکزی، از اعضای سابق مجلس نمایندگان افغانستان به خبرنگاران گفته است که اگر در اثر ادامه اعتصاب غذا، جان خود را از دست بدهد، مسئولیت آن به عهده حامد کرزی، رئیس جمهوری افغانستان، قسیم فهیم، معاون او، فضل احمد معنوی، رئیس کمیسیون انتخابات و عبدالرئوف ابراهیمی، رئیس مجلس نمایندگان خواهد ب


خانم بارکزی از حدود ده روز پیش در اعتراض به سلب عضویت در مجلس نمایندگان دست به اعتصاب غذا زده و مسئولان صحی نسبت به وضع سلامت او ابراز نگرانی کرده اند.
در پی بررسی ادعاهای تقلب در انتخابات پارلمانی افغانستان، اخیرا براساس تصمیم کمیسیون انتخابات، انتخاب خانم بارکزی به عضویت مجلس نمایندگان افغانستان غیر قابل قبول اعلام شد.
خانم بارکزی در اعتراض به این تصمیم دست به اعتصاب غذا زده و گفته است تا زمانی که پرونده او دوباره بررسی و زمینه برای راه یابی او به پارلمان فراهم نشود، به اعتصاب غذا ادامه خواهد داد.
علاوه بر خانم بارکزی، هشت عضو دیگر مجلس نمایندگان افغانستان نیز از عضویت در این مجلس محروم شده اند
.
مقامات ارشد دولتی از جمله معاون رئیس جمهوری از سیمین بارکزی تقاضا کرده اند به اعتصاب خود پایان دهد.
'زنده کردن عدالت'
وزارت صحت افغانستان نسبت به وضع سلامت خانم بارکزی ابراز نگرانی کرده و گفته است که اعتصاب غذا بر وضعیت سلامت معده و کلیه های او اثر منفی گذاشته است.
خانم بارکزی که در یک خیمه در نزدیکی ساختمان پارلمان افغانستان به سر می برد، نامه ای را در اختیار خبرنگاران قرار داده که در آن گفته اگر در اثر اعتصاب غذا جان خود را از دست بدهد، "مرگ او در جهت زنده کردن عدالت" خواهد بود.
خانم بارکزی گفته که او با "آرای پاک ملت" به مجلس راه یافت و پس از سلب صلاحیت، خواستار اجرای عدالت در مورد خود است.
سیمین بارکزی و پسرش
خبرنگار بی بی سی که خانم بارکزی را از نزدیک دیده می گوید از لحاظ جسمی بسیار ضعیف به نظر می رسد و حتی قادر نیست به درستی صحبت کند.
سلب صلاحیت خانم بارکزی و هشت عضو دیگر مجلس نمایندگان افغانستان از سوی کمیسیون انتخابات، در پی ماه ها اعتراض به نتیجه انتخابات از سوی نامزدهای معترض صورت گرفت.
نامزدهای معترض ادعا کرده اند که در آرای آنها در انتخابات دست کاری شده و به جای آنها کسانی وارد مجلس شده که آرای کمتری داشته اند.
این ادعاها از سوی دادگاه ویژه رسیدگی به شکایات انتخاباتی که از سوی حامد کرزی، رئیس جمهوری افغانستان تشکیل شده بود بررسی شد.
اما نتیجه کار این دادگاه که به سلب صلاحیت شصت و دو نفر از اعضای مجلس رای داده بود، با اعتراض شدید مجلس نمایندگان روبرو شد.
سرانجام، آقای کرزی از کمیسیون انتخابات خواست تا ادعاهای تقلب را از نو بررسی کند و براساس این بررسی، ۹ عضو مجلس نمایندگان کرسی های خود را از دست دادند و افراد جدیدی از میان نامزدهای معترض، به مجلس نمایندگان راه یافتند
