“I don’t want to die. I need life, I need hope.”

These are the words of the Ethiopean woman Meskeren to mayor Kompier of Vlagtwedde during one of her visits to the tent camp of Refugees-on-the-Street in Ter Apel (May 2012)

Stop deportation to Somalia

(On Wednesday 20th and Saturday 23rd of February)

On your plane you will find two Somali refugees. Holland does not recognize them and tries to return them by force to Somalia. In this country 450 people die or get wounded every month in political-religious conflicts. Human rights and judges declared Somalia unsafe for returning refugees. You can prevent this by protesting to the staff, by refusing to sit down and fasten your seat belt as long as the refugees are on board. You can demand respect for human rights.
