Church occupid by migrants in Zurich

20-12-2008 16:23

Today, Friday the 19th of December 2008, around 150 Sans-Papiers (immigrants and refugees without residence authorisation) and Swiss activists occupied the Prediger Church in Zurich. Exactly one year ago we occupied symbolically the cathedral Grossmünster to protest against the tightening of the law of asylum and the aliens legislation (Asyl- und Ausländergesetz). One year later we are outraged that the agency for migration in Zurich still keeps its inhuman and unreasonable migration policies.
