Freedom for Ahmed H.! Freedom for the Röske11! United against racism and
repression!
+++Join the demonstrations in Szeged & Budapest+++

30. November 2016: Szeged: Protest in front of the court house where
Ahmed H.’s last court hearing takes places
03. Dezember 2016: Budapest: Transnational Demonstration against the
Show Trial of Ahmed H.

In September  2015 the Hungarian authorities violently closed the border
to Serbia and made it, from one day to the other, illegal to cross.
While the government was transporting people to Austria by busses the
day before, on September 16th the police was using tear gas and water
cannons against people who wanted to do travel on. From the protest that
erupted in response to the border closure the government arrested 11
people completely randomly - the Röszke 11. Among those people were also
very vulnerable ones that could not leave quick enough.

During show-trials at beginning of July 2016, 10 of the accused were
found guilty for “illegal border crossing” and “participation in a mass
riot” by the court in Szeged, Hungary. Two of them are still imprisoned
in Hungary, two have decided to “voluntarily” return and six have
reached other European countries.

One, Ahmed H., however, is accused of “terrorism” and is still on trial.
The accusations are absurd, the court procedures are humiliating, the
hearings are uncritical and highly state-biased.

His last court hearing where his sentence will be proclaimed is on
November 30th. He might face a life-long prison sentence!

“Terrorism“ has become a tool to legitimize everything the state is
doing, it is used to silence every opposition - against border regime,
capitalism or the control over our lives.
The Röszke trial is revealing the reality of a system in which state and
police violence is never put in question. This goes hand in hand with
increasing fascism, creating fear and thus establishing a framework of
racism and repression.
Nonetheless this setting expands well beyond Hungary: Hungary cannot be
seen as the most “evil“ EU-state, but only as a part of the EUropean
fences-and-prisons-system that criminalises free movement of people just
as it criminalises solidarity.

So far the Röszke-Trials and especially Ahmed's case have not raised
much attention in Europe even though solidarity movements have tried to
spread the word. So now, let's unite our voices against racism and
repression! Join the Demos in Szeged and Budapest to show solidarity!

We demand the immediate release of the still imprisoned Kamel J., Yamen
A. and Ahmed H. Lets show strengths against the racist politics of
Fortress Europe!
Freedom for Ahmed. H., Kamel J. and Yamen A.! Freedom of Movement for All!
