Fuerth, Germany, 11-14.9. 2003, days of action against deportation camps
11-09-2003 22:29
People are in rebellion: in spring 2002 at the internment camp in Woomera/Australien; in March 2002 at the deportation prison in Bologna; End of 2002 at the Eurotunnel-camp in Sangatte/France; in Febuary 2003 in the deportation prison Haslar/England; January - April 2003 in the deportation prison Grünau/Berlin,; in May 2003 in Nomansland-camp between the Iraq / Jordan border; against fences, walls and borders of deportation prisons, internment camps, deportation camps, “Ausreisezentren”, refugee camps.Camps are an indispensable part of the separation policy of industrial countries. Separation from those who come, because the living conditions in their countries are decisively regulated by the interests of rich states. "We are here, because you destroy our countries", as refugees put it.
"Ausreisezentrum" is no term of the tourism industry. What sounds like palm beach and vacation trip is another link in the long chain of systematic exclusion and isolation of refugees and migrants in Germany. Cry from Halberstadt "Deportation camps are camps which illegalise people. As a supplementation to the socalled accumulative accomodations and deportation prisons deportation camps make perfect the system of determent, controll and deportation opposite to refugees.
Camps are an expression of the worldwide migration regime within the neoliberal globalisation. Therefore there is not only a temporal connection between the campaign against WTO
and the actiondays against the camp in Fuerth.
The neoliberal globalisation has serious effects on the majority of mankind: - cutback of hard earned rights, - social dismantling in the curse of global "adaption" GATS
Results of the globalised competition are: The strong prevail over the weak. What is called globalisation has nothing to do with the real globalisation in terms of ?one world?. With means of national, nationalistic arrogance and mobilisation big parts of mankind are excluded of the alleged blessings of civilisation. In many parts of the world (thus the loser?s side) globalised competition results in pauperisation, incontent, oppression, war, ?warlordisation?, barbarianism.
Results are: Billions of people are on the run or migrant to where they hope to find better living conditions.

Picket of Marks and Spencer Marble Arch 11/9/03 in support of the Intifada
11-09-2003 21:21
Victory to the Intifada’s (VTI) mobilisation brought over 80 protesters on to Oxford Street with banners, placards and street theatre. They joined the weekly picket supporting the Palestinian struggle by opposing M&S’s corporate sponsorship of the State of Israel. The picket is now facing opposition from Zionists and BNP members who for two weeks in a row have set up a stall supporting Israel. They fly the Union Jack alongside the Israeli flag and hand out leaflets defending Israeli supremacy in the Middle East. Zionists who justify the existence of the State of Israel by reference to the Holocaust are standing shoulder to shoulder with virulent Holocaust deniers.Greens fight Free Market for the Third World
