(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Eighteen years after St. Bernard, an undocumented worker dies while being deported (fr, pt)

 [machine translation]

Thursday, August 21, 2014, Abdelhak Goradia, Algerian, 51, died in the police van that 
brought him to the Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport for deportation. A criminal 
investigation for manslaughter has been opened following the death. ---- Eighteen years 
after the violent expulsion of undocumented migrants in the Church of St. Bernard, the 
Valls government is in the same spiral of state racism that previous governments: 
stigmatization of migrants and Roma, hunting undocumented migrants, records of evictions 
... In the context of rise of the far right, this policy only increased the hatred of 
foreigners, perfect scapegoat to divert attention from the real social issues. ---- 
Immediately the drama known undocumented ARC of Vincennes, where Abdelhak Goradia was 
withheld, decided to start a hunger strike with a list of demands and to protest the death 
of their mate.

The hunger strike began allows to highlight the grim situation of undocumented migrants 
languishing in detention centers and suffer the deadly arbitrary state.

Libertarian alternative claims the closure of detention centers and regularization of all 
and all undocumented. Only the struggle to establish freedom of movement and settlement 
will end the injustices.
