While the Mediterranean has become a deathtrap in the hands of the European states, and
that more than 2,000 people have died since September 2015, the State, the City of Paris
pursue a relentless hunt in Paris against refugee-es in struggle. Coordination of
Anarchist Groups - Paris region provides support to refugee-are struggling and their
allies are and especially to 4 people arrested including, among them, a refugee comrade.
These four were released Saturday, August 15th and the courts are convened in the month of
October. They and are prosecuted for "sequestration", while they were supporting
refugee-es hunger strike, which require asylum and better conditions of accommodation as
those implemented by Emmaus. Today, the reception centers and accommodation that the State
opens in limited quantities for refugee-are fighting are not anything other than bunkers
where access to basic living conditions is not Guaranteed.
The state and the municipality represses Emmaus accomplice
The struggle led, on July 31, the occupation by refugees and their ally-es-es of a hotel
school disused open-class district of Paris. After the motion was hit by 10 expulsions,
the town hall, under the weight of the balance of power, announced that it will not
request the expulsion and transform the building into a reception center. No one is
fooled: behind the announcement, it is indeed recovering the fight to better isolate and
break then. The arrest of comrades in the 14th district with the Emmaus Association
complicity proves. These managers of misery continue and accuse of "sequestration" a
gesture of solidarity with the strikers and so do the little hands of repression and
power. In attempting to break the one hand the mobilization of the hunger strikers and
also trying to prevent links with refugee-es occupying the high school, everything is done
to crush possible convergences between the struggles. Those that helped lead to victory
when hosted Vincennes es-es have revolted, with the support of refugee-es Chapel occupying
the high school and their allies are.
Behind the repression of refugee-es, imperialism and neo-colonialism
The repression known by refugee-es is limitless, which is why we denounce criminalization.
Behind the police violence, we see that there is no rupture of the State with its colonial
past. Here the refugees find themselves hard-es-es faced with the state racism doors. This
same racism which controls the state looting operations, political control of African
countries and support to several military dictatorships around the world. Imperialism
which impoverishes and represses people and causes them to flee the country. Imperialism
and neo kill, and right here it is defended and supported him in the war against migrants.
Facing the State racism, only struggle pays!
Today and tomorrow, we call for popular unity of the refugee side-es. Only the struggle
paid off and it must continue. For us there is only one solution to organize and fight for:
- The end of the criminal hunt refugee-es
- The regularization tou-te-s
- Decent housing for tou-te-s
- The requisitioning of empty housing
- The end of economic plunder by the French State of the countries of Africa and the
Middle East resources
- The end of the military intervention of the French state in Africa and the Middle East.
In the immediate future we call for:
- The abandonment of prosecutions against our comrades went 4-es
- Strengthen the support committee
- Solidarity against police repression suffered by migrants
- Material solidarity and mutual help with the refugee-es
Long live the struggle of the refugee-es!
Neither Borders nor Nations Solidarity with refugee-es!
