Push back Solidarity - How the European Union criminalizes solidarity with people seeking protection

Überall in der EU werden Organisationen und Einzelpersonen diffamiert, schikaniert, behindert und strafrechtlich verfolgt, weil sie sich solidarisch mit Schutzsuchenden zeigen. Diese Broschüre gibt einen Ein- und Überblick über die zunehmende Kriminalisierung von Solidarität innerhalb der Europäischen Union; ihre Hintergründe, Formen und Auswirkungen und zahlreiche Fälle. Doch staatliche Repressionen stoßen auf Widerstand. Betroffene lassen sich nicht einschüchtern. Auf Repression folgen neue Wellen der Solidarität und befeuern den gemeinsamen Kampf gegen das rassistische europäische Grenzregime.

Streiflicht Italia: Lost Lives, Untold Stories (only in German)

People on the move die in the Mediterranean - every day, often without a name, without saying goodbye, without anyone knowing. This publication tells the stories of those who are lost and those who are left behind. Of mothers who, years later, still hope. Of sisters begging the authorities to act. And of a policy that takes these deaths into account - and systematically renders them invisible. The stories in this issue show what happens when states fail to save people when they could. When relatives have to fight for repatriation because bodies have been buried anonymously. When official bureaucracy fails - and human dignity is defended only by the commitment of individuals. This is not about numbers. It is about remembrance - as a protest. Dignity even in death - as a right. About stories - as a resistance to forgetting. Read here the German Streiflicht.
