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. When port police reached the vessel only 32 immigrants were aboard. A helicopter participating in the rescue operation managed to save 30 immigrants that have fallen in the sea. Late in the afternoon, the same helicopter discovered the bodies of 3 sans-papiers who drowned at sea.

Greece: Racist attacks continue plaguing Athens

the recent days repeated racist attacks take place in various neighbourhoods of Athens.
  • Last night (September 16), 2 Afghan immigrants were attacked outside their home. When they saw a group of thugs approaching, scared they tried to run away but did not manage to escape. The gangs attacked them leaving one stabbed! The victim suffered two wounds, one next to the heart and another one just below. One person was arrested but the rest of the fascist gangs escaped and continued their attacks at St. Panteleimonas square beating up another Afghan. St Panteleimonas neighbourhood is one of the areas with large immigrant population in Athens and has become a point of reference for violent racist attacks. Immigrants are constantly experiencing verbal and physical abuses by the extreme far-right faction “Chrisi Avgi” (Golden Dawn)
  • An organized illegal persecution, also, against Pakistani immigrants took place in Aspropyrgos (a working class area of Athens). More than twenty four were left wounded and transferred to Evangelismos hospital.
  • On 15th of September, Kouvelou squat in Maroussi (northern suburb of Athens) was hit by arson in the middle of the night, at around 3 am on September 14th. The roof collapsed and four rooms destroyed.
  • Last Saturday, 10th of September, in the same area, around 40 right wing thugs with bats and other weapons gathered on late afternoon close to the suburban train station. 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.

ΟΧΙ ΑΛΛΑ ΘΗΜΑΤΑ ΦΑΣΙΣΤΗΚΩΝ ΕΠΙΘΕΣΙΩΝ

ΟΧΙ ΑΛΛΑ ΘΗΜΑΤΑ ΦΑΣΙΣΤΗΚΩΝ ΕΠΙΘΕΣΙΩΝΌργιο φασιστικών επιθέσεων τις τελευταίες ημέρες στην περιοχή του Αγίου Παντελεήμονα, συνεχή πογκρόμ εις βάρος μεταναστών και προσφυγών, κατοίκων της περιοχής. Ομάδες κρούσης 15 – 20 ατόμων προσπαθούν να αποδείξουν ότι η Χρυσή Αυγή έχει τον έλεγχο της περιοχής. Κάνουν λάθος όμως!
Εχθές βράδυ, Παρασκευή και ώρα 21:30 στην οδό Περγάμου κοντά στην Μιχαήλ Βόδα , ομάδα τραμπούκων φασιστών γνωστών σε όλους στην περιοχή αλλά και κλασσικών λουμπέν τηλεπερσόνων επιτέθηκαν με μαχαίρια σε πρόσφυγες περιοίκους της περιοχής, έριξαν τον ρατσιστικό τους δηλητήριο με τις γνωστές φασιστικές ύβρεις, κυνήγησαν και χτύπησαν 3 Αφγανούς με αποτέλεσμα να μαχαιρωθεί επικίνδυνα ένας Αφγανός πρόσφυγας στο διάφραγμα και στο στήθος και μεταφέρθηκε στο νοσοκομείο Σωτηρία καθώς χαροπάλευε με το θάνατο . Ο ένας από τους φασίστες που αποπειράθηκε να σκοτώσει των συμπατριώτη μας ευτυχώς συνελήφθη, γεγονός σπάνιο για τα δεδομένα της περιοχής .
Ο Αφγανός μάρτυρας που έντρομος είδε να σφάζουν τον συνάνθρωπο του, βρήκε το θάρρος διότι δεν μπορούσε να βλέπει τον συνάνθρωπο να χαροπαλεύει με τον θάνατο και αυτοί να στέκονται με το γνωστό τους θράσος απέναντι στο Α/Τ του Α.γ Παντελεήμονα, και πήρε την μεγάλη απόφαση να τους καταγγείλει στην Αστυνομία μπας και αποδοθεί τουλάχιστον για ένα από τα θύματα τους δικαιοσύνη. Εμείς οι Αφγανοί πολιτικοί πρόσφυγες, έχοντας παλέψει επί μήνες για τα δικαιώματα μας στα Προπύλαια, βρήκαμε την δύναμη να διεκδικήσουμε την σύλληψη των φασιστών που έσφαξαν και παρ’ολίγο να σκοτώσουν ένα συμπατριώτη μας στην περιοχή του Αγ. Παντελεήμονα. Επιτέλους να τιμωρηθούν οι φασίστες και το παρακράτος για τα ρατσιστικά εγκλήματα τους. Έξω οι φασίστες από τις γειτονιές. Μπορούμε να τους σταματήσουμε! Είναι προφανές ότι προχώρησαν σε μηνύσεις εις βάρος του Αφγανού συμπατριώτη μας θύματος για ψευδή καταμήνυση και συκοφαντική δυσφήμιση. Ποιοι αυτοί που βγαίνουν ανοιχτά στα κανάλια και στις γειτονιές της περιοχής βρίζοντας, απειλώντας και οργανώνοντας πογκρόμ εις βάρος των μεταναστών και των προσφύγων. Επιτέλους να αποδοθεί δικαιοσύνη! Αγώνες ενωμένοι ντόπιων και μεταναστών ενάντια στους φασίστες, ενάντια στην κυβέρνηση που τους δίνει περιεχόμενο και λόγο ύπαρξης , ενάντια στην κρίση και στο σύστημα που τους γεννά. Ούτε στον Άγιο Παντελεήμονα ούτε πουθενά! Μπορούμε να τους χώσουμε στις τρύπες τους όλοι μαζί ντόπιοι και μετανάστες, εργαζόμενοι και κάτοικοι της περιοχής!
Εμείς οι Αφγανοί πολιτικοί πρόσφυγες μετά την δικαίωση τον αγώνα μας, στείλαμε ένα μήνυμα στους αλληλέγγυος μας ότι συνεχίζουμε να αγωνιζόμαστε για την δικαιοσύνη και ελευθερία, αγωνιζόμαστε για ένα πλανήτη χωρίς φτώχεια, πολέμους και ρατσισμό. Μαζί μπορούμε νε πετύχουμε το όνειρο μας ας ενωθούμε όλοι μαζί να διώξουμε όλους τους φασίστες !!

Letter of prisoners in Fylakio

We prisoners in Filakio need your help from the outside. We do not have access to other cells, we don’t get fresh air, the water is dirty, food is just enough to survive, we cannot go outside.
When someone is sick, no doctor comes to help. Again and again, people fall sick since the toilets are dirty. We want to leave this prison. The police is beating us again and again, on our hands, on our feet, they insult us endlessly. Nobody answers our question to what our future will be. There are even people that have gone crazy, and still we cannot leave. We are a lot of people, with different nationalities, in one cell. We have not committed any crime, and we have not chosen this fate.
We have fled war, oppression and poverty to reach european democratic countries.
Somebody tell us what is awaiting us, what will happen to us.
We prisons from Filakio, we are thankful that people are listening to us now.
Recently one of the prisoners went on hungerstrike. He fainted after 12 days of hungerstrike. After two days in hospital he was brought back to the prison cell. Nobody took note of his protest.

EU plans to exclude wayward Schengen nations

The European Union will on Friday propose a mechanism to suspend countries from the passport-free Schengen travel area, in a move diplomats say is partly aimed at putting pressure on Greece to keep illegal immigrants out of the bloc.
Greece, the country at the heart of Europe’s debt crisis, has for a decade been the weakest link in the EU’s common border system, struggling to control its eastern frontier with Turkey and its island-strewn Mediterranean coastline.
Since the Schengen agreement of 1995, which allows for the free movement of people and goods across most of the EU, passport-free travel has been viewed as one of the cornerstones of European integration.
However, when the European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, unveils proposals to overhaul rules governing the border-free zone, it is expected to reveal what Brussels officials privately refer to as “the Greece clause”, a provision allowing for a country to be temporarily kicked out of Schengen. Border controls would then be reimposed between the country and the rest of the EU.
“Any move to exclude countries would clearly be targeting Greece, among others, which has been a problem for Schengen ever since it joined in 2000,” says Hugo Brady, fellow at the Centre for European Reform, a Brussels-based think-tank.
Of the estimated 104,000 migrants that crossed illegally into the EU in 2010, nearly 88,000 arrived through Greece’s borders. Even with a spike in migrants arriving in Malta and Italy from Libya and Tunisia in recent months, Greece will probably emerge as the primary gateway to Europe once again in 2011.
The Commission’s proposals, seen by the Financial Times, say the prospect of suspension from Schengen would be meant as a deterrent, only to be used as a last resort after a country had failed to respond to EU assistance.
But some officials believe Greece has already reached this point. More than 26,000 migrants have come through the country’s border with Turkey since the start of the year, according to Frontex, Europe’s nascent border agency. That is despite numerous Frontex missions to help strengthen the border, and the fact that in the EU’s seven-year budget to 2013, Greece should receive around €350m from Brussels to secure its borders and administer refugees.
Some believe it is necessary to quarantine wayward countries to preserve the integrity of the Schengen scheme.
“It is necessary for member states to live up to their obligations,” says Tobias Billström, Sweden’s immigration minister. “Such a measure [to exclude a country] has to be seen as a radical one, but you cannot exclude it from the agenda.”
Greece has also lost sympathy for the ways it treats migrants. Only 1 per cent of applications for asylum are typically approved, compared with 70 per cent in Sweden. Inadequate facilities for migrants prompted several EU countries to suspend co-operation with Greece on processing asylum seekers last year.
Athens has pledged to bolster its border controls, with an official at the ministry of citizens’ protection saying Greece was “in the process of taking measures to fulfil all its obligations.”
But faced with an unprecedented budget shortfall and the need for deep spending cuts, doubts remain on whether controlling migration is a priority

Fylakio in September 2011

Yesterday we received a phonecall from relatives of syrian refugees, who have been prisoners in Fylakio (Northern Greece) since a few days ago:

Today I talked with somebody who was released some days ago from Fylakio about his experiences in this prison. He didn’t want to talk about it first. He said he didn’t want me to feel sorry for something that happened to him, and make me suffer, me and my family. But I said to him: “Tell me the whole truth. The people have to know what happens in there!”
They get food once a day. The food is hardly enough to survive.
The drinking water is dirty. Sand is coming out of the tap.
The toilets are dirty.
There is no fresh air. No ventilation.
Once a months they are allowed to go out in the yard. Never they see the sunlight and they are always locked in. In 46 days they have been two times outside to breathe.
Only once, at the 3rd of September, when the prison was burning. This day they had to stand for four hours in the sun, no shadow anywhere. Collective punishment.
One guy from Syria started a hungerstrike. Nobody was interested in his protest. So finally he hurt himself with a knife. The police was just watching. Later they pushed him in another prison cell. Seven days isolation. Afterwards they pushed him back to the big room to all other prisoners. The demand of his hungerstrike has been to get released. But nobody listened. Nobody outside even noticed his protest.
One important thing: police beats the people, they beat you deadly. Beating and abusing this is normal in Greece. They beat the people in there and the people get tortured there.
If somebody gets sick there is no doctor.
He told me:
I did not apply for asylum, because my lawyer said to me if I do, I will have to stay very long in this prison and there is no chance to get asylum in Greece anyway. They promise some things but they lie a little bit, about getting out of here.
The sitation inside is horrible. There is no electricity. The people sleep three in one bed. If one is falling from the bed, he can break his hands or his skull and nobody is taking notice. Once and Afghan fell down. He was bleeding heavily and nobody did anything to help.
There are different nationalities and ethnics in one small room. If they pick a fight the policemen stand outside laughing about it until the fight is over. Or until somebody gets a fracture or something else happens. They don’t care.
There are many people in one prison cell and all the time new people are pushed inside.
My only wish was to escape from this situation. Only to get out of here. Even if I would be deported. Anything would be better than this prison. This is why nobody wants to apply for asylum here. Because it’s so horrible in this prison and nobody wants to be forced to stay here for the whole six months.
————————–
Imprisoned refugees in Fylakio protested on 3rd of September 2011. They set the mattresses on fire. This is the ongoing revolt after a series of revolts in prisons in (Northern) Greece where people are locked because they are searching for a safe place to stay. Revolts and hungerstrikes we will make public. Publicity is the only (weak) protection against the brutal repression that follows the revolts in most cases:
