Occupation of French consulate in Brussels: Justice for Noureddin
No Borders Brussels | 01.08.2012 21:05 | Migration | Repression
Eight people scaled scaffolding around the French consulate in Belgium to unfurl two banners “Justice for Noureddin” and “Calais is Everywhere, Justice is Nowhere”, whilst a noise demo was held outside the building to condemn the recent death in Calais of Noureddin, a friend of many...
Like the demonstrations in Calais after 7th July, to the 17th July rally outside the embassy of France in London and the occupation of the French consulate in Düsseldorf on 20th July, we occupied the consulate of France, Wednesday 1st August from 11am, to protest against the circumstances of the death of Mohamed Noureddin last July 7th in Calais.
Noureddin was found dead in a river in the centre of Calais after being violently arrested by police. No autopsy was performed and no testimonies were taken of friends who had been with him previously that same night.
The Police, after changing several times the official version, have closed the case as an accidental death.
This death like many others in Calais, is the result of a criminal immigration policy that kills thousands of European persons at home and abroad.
We condemn these deaths and the criminalisation of undocumented people as the new scapegoats of a society in crisis, a racist system.
As in Calais, London and Düsseldorf, we demand that the French authorities promptly clarify the exact circumstances of the death of Noureddin.
More generally, we demand the freedom of movement and settlement for all human beings irrespective of their origin.

Eight people were arrested during the action, all have now been released.
