This morning activists from Norway and refugees, having the information that norwegian government will deport 2 afghan refugees back to Afghanistan, gathered at the deportation camp of Trandum in order to stop the deportation.
Trandum is a small village and a military base. The deportation camp is heavily monitored and has a barbed wire fence around.
Early in the morning the activists secretly passed the fence and entered inside the camp. They stayed inside the camp to prevent the deportation, while others went to the airport.
Up to now, they are still holding their places, while police and journalists are outside the camp.
A few days ago the Afghan refugees ended their hungerstrike after accepting the Norwegian government's promise that the refugees cases will be reopened and they will not be deported.The refugees feel that the Norwegian government very soon broke their promise!
