„Die Flucht über das Mittelmeer auf der Suche nach Sicherheit ist Widerstand. Wir werden laut & standhaft bleiben, solidarisch mit allen Menschen auf der Flucht. Jeder Grenze gilt unser Widerstand, jeder Repression unsere Demonstration, jeder Ungerechtigkeit unsere antifaschistische Aktion.”

Wir kommen jedes Jahr an vielen Orten am 6. Februar zusammen. Wir gedenken allen, die ihr Leben verloren haben oder verschwanden, als sie versuchten, Grenzen zu überqueren und sichere Orte zu erreichen. Wir stehen zusammen, vereint in unserer Trauer, und verurteilen das mörderische europäische Grenzregime.

🟣 Alle 67 gestern von der #LouiseMichel im zentralen #Med geretteten Menschen konnten heute in #Catania von Bord gehen.
All we wanted for Christmas:
Freedom Of Movement for All.
Seems we have to fight for it ourselves.
Migration is natural. For many creatures, and for humanity, it is a crucial strategy for survival. Migration always follows the way towards better living conditions, and away from violence, hunger and climate change.
Today, the imbalance of migration from the global south towards the north is deeply rooted in the decades of exploitation and oppression by "western" colonialist powers. People and natural resources continue to be used by these powers to maximise profits, with no regard to either social or ecological consequences. Global inequality and injustice are the main reasons for migration.
To fight for the freedom of movement for everyone, means to fight for equal and unconditional human rights for all. It means equal access to, and fair distribution of resources. It means to fight against exploitation of people and nature, and against the private property of common goods.
We will repeat it, until it’s implemented:
Freedom of movement for all!
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 represented a milestone in the recognition of the universal rights of every human being following the unprecedented horrors and mass expulsion of World War II. The Declaration declares that all rights and freedoms it sets out are universal, and without exclusion due to race or ethnicity, religion, gender identity, language, political or other opinion, nationality, social origin, property, birth, or any other status.
Today, 192 member states of the United Nations have committed themselves to this declaration. And yet, governments and international organisations have continually undermined and neglected the obligation to protect refugees.
Across the world, people are forced to leave their homes; fleeing conflict, persecution, climate change, or a lack of basic care. While seeking safety, refugees and migrants often end up in camps, detention centers or on the streets, while states, such as the EU member states, work hard to prevent people accessing the right to seek asylum.
We call on all states to uphold their commitment to the UDHR, and to respect and protect human rights for all!
Everyone has the right to a life free from persecution.
No one is illegal.

55 people have drowned in devastating shipwreck in front of the Canary Islands
In the first days of November, 55 people have died along the migration path to the Canary Islands. Another 1,786 people rescued in operations near Lanzarote and El Hierro.
The migration route along the Atlantic has become an increasingly common path to Europe, with its primary departure points in southern Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal.
With the escalation of violent interceptions by Libya and Tunisia, with the support of the EU, other dangerous migration routes have been used by people seeking safety in Europe.
For those trying to reach Europe from Senegal, the crossing is nearly 10 times longer than other Mediterranean routes.
Many boats, without proper navigation systems, are veering off course and some are drifting across the Atlantic to the shores of Brazil, taking hundreds of lives with them.
These are not numbers. These are human lives. The right seek asylum is a right protected by international law.
Rest in power.

Italy's Deal with Albania must end now!
Despite recent court rulings against outsourcing #asylum processes, the Italian government has transferred another 8 people on the move to #Albania that had been rescued by the military ship, #Libra.
Shortly after, an Italian court decided a second time, that this is illagal and ordered to transfer the survivors to Italian mainland.
Tensions between the Italian government and the judiciary are escalating since the first transfer of 12 people rescued at sea to Albania was claimed illegal by the court. In this case, all survivors were transferred to #Italy after that ruling.
Freedom of movement is everybody's right. Stop the Albania deal now! Human rights for all!

Fortress Europe's deadly actions:
Another 16 people have died in front of Tunisianwhile the EU is closing new deals and hiding evidence of human rights abuses.
The European Commission refuses to publish the findings of a “risk management” on human rights in Tunisia. Meanwhile, another 16 bodies have been washed ashore. The latest victims of a shipwreck on one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
Despite Tunisia’s growing authoritarianism under President Kais Saied, the EU has pushed forward with a €150m migration deal. Systematic repression and violent, racist attacks on people seeking safety have rapidly increased in recent years under old and new President Saied.
Tunisia and Libya remain central departure points for those fleeing their homes and hoping to find safety in Europe. More than 341 bodies have been recovered off Tunisia’s coast this year alone.
Europes migration policy is deadly and is resulting in new victims of this brutality every day.
We need safe and legal routes now.

Joint Statement: Tunisia is Not a Place of Safety for People Rescued at Sea
The ongoing human rights violations against People on the move in #Tunisia must stop.
The #EU and its member states are still collaborating with Tunisia on migration controls, which appear similar to the harmful deals made with #Libya. This is fueling human rights abuses. We cannot stand by as these violations of rights and dignity continue. Freedom of movement for all!

Lampedusa 2023: Between Solidarity and Europe's Failure
In the past week, one year ago, over 5,000 people arrived in Lampedusa on a single day, having left Tunisia in unseaworthy boats. While the local detention centre collapsed under pressure, the true spirit of solidarity emerged as Lampedusa’s residents opened their homes, providing food and shelter.
But this act of humanity should never have been necessary. The island and its residents have been abandoned for years by Italy and the rest of Europe. Instead of addressing migration, people on the move continue to be exploited for racist and inhumane propaganda.
We need an EU-wide migration policy that works with migration, not against it, building a society where everyone can live together in peace, not divided by fear.
Freedom of Movement for all! Against all nationalism!

My European bachelor student: "my uni requires me to sign up 2 weeks before the semester, so annoying!" My #Chinese bachelor student: "Yeah, so I have to declare this week whether I will go abroad for the PhD, and my Chinese supervisor recommended no, so to not break my word and lose (figurative) social credit I can only do my PhD in China now and cannot apply abroad." #FreedomOfMovementForAll #china #AcademicChatter #Astrodon #fuckedup #politics #ThoseWhoDontMoveDontNoticeTheirChains
#Cyprus, as all states, must uphold their obligation to provide people fleeing access to asylum procsses. Freedom of movement is a human right! Safe and legal routes now!

43 People Disembarked in Pozzallo
Yesterday, 43 survivors were rescued from two separate rescue operations and have now been safely disembarked in Pozzallo.
We wish them strength and #Solidarity as they navigate Europe's challenging and racist border policies designed to make starting a new life difficult for those seeking safety.

Over 160 people dead
In search of safety in Europe, a boat capsized on Monday off the coast of Mauritanian, a key transit point for people on the move trying to reach Europe from West Africa. The Mauritanian coastguard was only able to rescue 9 out of 170 people alive yesterday.
Tragedies like this cannot be allowed to happen and under no circumstances should they be accepted as the norm.
People die every day while trying to seek safety, and Italy continues to block search and rescue ships from doing their work to help prevent loss of life in the central Mediterranean.
We urgently need safe routes to safety.
Rest in Power.
🟣 36 Personen sind auf #Lampedusa sicher an Land gegangen.
Wir wünschen ihnen mit @louisemichel alles Gute auf ihrem Weg in eine sichere Heimat und hoffen, dass sie einen fairen Weg durch Europas rassistisches Rechtssystem finden.
The MV Louise Michel is almost ready for our next rotation.
After a necessary longer period in the shipyard, our ship is back in the water and the new crew is already in training.
Soon we will be back in the central Mediterranean Sea, one of the deadliest and busiest migration routes in the world.
We stand in solidarity with all those in search of safety. For freedom of movement for everyone.
Solidarity and Resistance.
