Second wave of #Seebruecke protests in Germany against drownings, border closures and criminalization of life-savers
After the first wave of protests against drownings, border closures and criminalization of life-savers, there will be a second wave of protests in the coming days. The Seebruecke initiative is growing rapidly.
Today (July 12) there will be a
gathering in Berlin to commemorate Jamal Nasser Mahmoudi, the 23 year
old Afghan refugee that was deported on July 4 (from Munich airport) and
commited suicide earlier this week. He was one of 69 refugees that were
deported on the birthday of German federal minister of interior Horst
Seehofer (CSU). During a press conference Seehofer said: “It just so
happens that on my 69th birthday, without any orders from me, 69 people
were sent back to Afghanistan.” Seehofer was smiling when he said that.
Now one of the refugees comitted suicide. Todays gathering will start at
05:00pm (17:00) in front of the ministry of interior in Berlin.On their Facebook page
the Seebruecke initiative wrote: “For the coming weekend soooo many
demos and other actions are planned. Go on the streets! Show that we are
many! Spread content on your channels. (…) Today, it’s time to go to
the Ministry of the Interior in Berlin with a vigil for Jamal – the
deported refugee who committed suicide yesterday.”The list of demonstrations, vigils and other protests in the coming days is long:
