EVICTION OF REJECTED REFUGEES FROM PLACE TO PLACE

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2022/TEN YEARS WANDERING THROUGH AMSTERDAM/TEN YEARS REFUGEE VICTIMS OF THE SADISTIC DUTCH GOVERNMENT

A Poor Couple on their way to their PLace of Birth, on the orders of a foreign occupier, who wants to registrate the occupied people.

So is nthe World.

Rulers want to have, they NEED control on everything and everyone.

It is a journey full of hardships, the Wife is pregnant and travels

on the only way poor people can, when they are not walking:

On a Donkey.

And of course she can not walk, for she is full of

Child and the Birth can happen anytime.

When they arrive in their PLace of Birth, there is nowhere a shelter

or Place and the Mother is obliged to deliver her Child in a sort

of Cave, facilitated by a compassionate innkeeper

The Couple gets a warm welcome, not by the authorities,

who don’t care about poor people [just as in our Times],

but by common people.

Like shepherds and local residents.

But also by three Wise Men, who were intrigued by a

miraculous natural phenomenon……

But Hardship is not the end of their Trouble, for the Couple has

to flee, because the occupiers puppet king wants to kill

the newborn child, since a prediction says, that a child, born in

that city, will overshadow the king, when it grows up.

They flee to Egypt, where they can take shelter until

the Danger is over.

Glad for them, that they lived two thousand years ago:

For in this Time, they were, fleeing from Asia [where their

country is situated] stopped at some Wall or deported again [1]

especially when they had the nerves to go to Europe……

2012-2022

That’s what happened in  Christmas Night.

It’s all about persecution, exclusion, discrimination.

That’s NOT something from the past

IT HAPPENS NOW!

Because I know a Group of Refugees, who are hunted down

for ten years by a cruel Dutch government, that throws her responsibility from government to municipality, etc

No one to blame?

THEY ARE ALL TO BLAME, ALL SEGMENTS OF

THE DUTCH STATE!

It concerns the Refugee from the ”WE are Here Group”, originally

coming from asylum refugee Centre Ter Apel [2] to the city

of Amsterdam, because they couldn’t be deported [their asylum had

been rejected] to their country of origin, but were not permitted to remain in the Netherlands either. [3]

Is that not sadistic?

Like throwing people in purgatory! [4]

Yes, there is a socalled ”No Fault Criterium”, implying, that when

refugees can’t possibly return to their country, after tried their

stinking best to leave [for departure is entirely the responsibility of

rejected refugees], that they can get a permit to stay in the Netherlands [5, text alas in Dutch].

But in practice the criteria are that strict, that no one can meet

them……..

This also implies also this Group, composed of people,

coming from all sort of war and conflict countries [6] [which makes that they can’t be deported and also the fact, that their country of origin refuses to give travel documents to return to the country]

WANDERING FROM PLACE TO PLACE

So what’s their Fate?

Wandering from place to place, from squatter centre to squatter centre, mostly helped by leftist radical quatter activists, but

also organizing their own group, their own resistance [7]

With no help whatsoever from the municipality Amsterdam, 

only evictions from their poor shelterings, making them homeless…

[8]

It;s a shame

Those people are totally without rights

As undocumented refugees they have only right to an advocate and

medical service in case of an emergency

That’s NOT the way you deal with people

People have the right to flee, the right on elementary

necessities of life, the right on a warm Shelter, the right on

enough food to live, the right to build a decent life

I AM FURIOUS BECAUSE OF THIS AND MORE THAN ONCE I CONFRONTED THE DUTCH AMSTERDAM MUNICIPALITY 

GOVERNMENT WITH THIS! [9]

CHRISTMAS 2022

Long ago a Poor Couple was rejected and excluded

After 2022 years, on and on refugees are rejected,

as the We are here Group

We, people who seek Justice, will not stand by and let it pass

WE WILL RESIST

You join me?

I know you will

BLESSED AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS DAYS AND

A GOOD, HAPPY AND PROSPOROUS 2023!

ASTRID ESSED

FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM, ISLAMOPHOBIA, HATRED FOR REFUGEES AND RACISM WITH THE PEN AND THE SWORD


”On bended knee it’s no way to be free”[Slogan of Peter R de Vries] [1]

https://www.songtexte.com/songtext/eddie-vedder/guaranteed-33d3509d.html

[At the 15th july 2021 crime reporter Peter R de Vries died, after beenshot in the streets of Amsterdam on 6th july. [2]I honor him, because he was far more than just a crime reporter and an investigator of criminal cold cases, but also a defender of the rights of unheard, like refugees and minorities.Therefore my hommageMay he rest in peace]

Peter R de Vries, the fearless crimefighter and advocate for the rights of the unheard, reminds me of a fictional character of oneof my favourite films ”Legends of the Fall” [3], colonel William Ludlow, whomoves his family to a ranch in Montana out of indignation and dissatisfactionwith the treatment of the American government against the native Americans . [4]In my terms:He fled for aggressive racist white Supremacy”In his terms:,”Losing the madness” [5]By the way:A must see film for you, readers! [6]
Fearless and lovers of justice they both shared, fictional ColonelLudlow and crimefighter Peter R de VriesThe one retreated [as was the best thing he could do inpre WO I White supremacist America] and founded his Paradisein Montana, the other fought [as was the best thing to do innowadays the Netherlands]

So like Colonel Ludlow, Peter R de Vries was fearless and obsessed with justice, investigating cold cases [7] and what says more:Achieving great results! [8]

FEARLESS
Fearless he was, his motto was:”On bended knee it’s no way to be free” [9]
He was also tenacious, never gave up. [10]
I don’t have to mention all his successes;Look at his Wikipedia! [11]His last effort was his assistence of the crown witness, Nabil B [12]in the Marengo process, the greatest drug trial in the history of the Netherlands [13]Perhaps that involvement costed him his life, as the Public Prosecuter’s Officethinks is ”more likely” [but nothing is sure, yet, all optionsare still open] [14]
ADVOCATE FOR THE UNHEARD
Although I admired Peter R de Vries for his great involvement in solvingcold cases and his support for the families of the victims [15], that’s notthe first reason I write this tribute to him.
My reason is, that he was not only a dedicated crime fighter, but alsoan advocate of the rights of the unheard and victims of stogmatizationand discrimination.

HIS FIGHT AGAINST PVV LEADER G WILDERS
Peter R de Vries was a fervent opponent of fascist PVV leader G Wilders [17]In his diary, he wrote ”Ik vind Geert W. zelf een gevaarlijk man, een demagoog met de potentievan een volksmenner.” [Translated in English: I think Geert W is a dangerous man, a demagogue with the potention of a people’s agitator” [18]

For his contribution to the fight against racism and IslamophobiaI sent Peter R de Vries an appreciation-mail [19]The price he paid for his Wilders criticism was a great number ofhatemails [20]I wonder how many of those people, wholay flowers at the place he was shot [21], were among those haters……

CHAMPION FOR THE RIGHTS OF REFUGEES
But Peter R de Vries did more:In a time and on a moment, that there was much resistanceagainst the coming of Syrian refugees to the Netherlands, who hadfled the war in Syria [22], Peter R de Vries stood firm for the refugee rights, he wrote this statement:”Respect and admiration for the refugees! [23]I quote from this statement among else:”Sometimes it seems that in public debate about the refugees it is no longer about people, but only about numbers, percentages, quotas and files. Often the refugee issue is discussed in a detached and intolerant tone of voice; like asylum seekers and refugees are profiteers who are here to seek fortune”AND”It has always amazed me how easily and lightly people condemn refugees about leaving their homeland; like it is a tempting challenge to build a new life in another country, with an incomprehensible language, different culture and a harsh climate. Like people just do that for fun…!”AND”And that is why I would like to emphasize that I have the upmost respect and admiration for those who have abandoned their homes in desperation for doom and disaster and are trying, with great difficulty, to build up a new life in a foreign country.
In my opinion they should never have to hide or be ashamed; they can be proud, with their heads held high, because what they have achieved, what they have defied and what they have sacrificed more than most of us would dare or could bear. That is something we should be more aware off…” [24]

True and impressive words and again I sent him a appreciation-mail! [25]
STATELESS REFUGEES
But apart from writing, Peter R de Vries came in action!He helped a group of ”General Pardonners”, who were allowedto remain in the Netherlands, but yet didn’t become a passport,which made them ”stateless”By his effort [and of course from others] [26], State Secretary Ankie Broekers-Knol of Asylum Affairs made it possible that ten thousand so-called general pardonners can still get a passport. [27]One of the ten thousand stateless General Pardonners,Yosef Tekeste-Yemane, [who turned to de Vries about this humanitarian question] remarked:[comment after the shooting of Peter R de Vries]:”I hope he will still get what he has achieved.” [28]
He also remarked:””He saw the injustice and got caught up in it, he was determined to help us and hoped the media would warm to this.” [29]
And it worked!

EPILOGUE
In his own  way, Peter R de Vries made a great contribution inthe fight against injustice..Not only because of the fearless and tenacious way, he fought as a crime reporter [30], but for what he did for refugees.In the fight against racism, prejudices and Islamophobia.
Therefore for me, he is a great man.I will not forget him!
May he rest in peace.

Mediterranean sea boat refugees/Solidarity with the families of the 91 people who disappeared at sea

MEDITERRANEAN SEA BOAT REFUGEES/SOLIDARITY WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE 91 PEOPLEWHO DISAPPEARED AT SEA

One year ago, on 9 February 2020, at 04.09 AM, the Alarm Phone was called by a group of 91 people who were in distress on a deflating black rubber boat off Garabulli, Libya. They were in panic, but they managed to clearly communicate their GPS coordinates, which Alarm Phone immediately relayed to the Italian and Maltese authorities, as well as to the so-called Libyan coastguard.

At 05.35h CET, the people in distress called the Alarm Phone for the last time. Contact with the boat was lost ever since.

The so-called Libyan coastguard, financed and trained by Italian and European authorities in their efforts to delegate border controls and border violence, told Alarm Phone that they had no intention to search and rescue the people in distress “because the detention centers were full”. 

That day, another boat was rescued to Malta, and many hoped this was the boat that had alerted Alarm Phone. However, it quickly became clear that this was a second boat in distress: a white rather than a black boat, with 82 instead of 91 people on board. 

Due to the silence by authorities on the fate of the black rubber boat, as well as of most boats in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea, the Alarm Phone as well as relatives and friends of people in distress, often have to rely on fragmented information and try to match crucial – although minimal – details to understand what happened to people in distress. 

The days that followed 9 February 2020 clearly revealed that the 91 people were nowhere to be found. There was no trace of them on land, and nothing indicating they were still at sea. 

One month later, we wrote an open letter to all authorities asking about what happened on that day and what they have done to search and rescue the people in distress. We did not receive any answer from any of them.

Only ten months later, when we sent another request to all authorities in December 2020, Frontex responded – clearly the result of increased pressures on the EU border agency and investigations into its participation in push-backs which has prompted international attention and condemnation.  

The picture shared by Frontex, taken on 9 February 2020, shows a deflated rubber boat in a position near the one reported by the 91 people in distress. However, no human remains are visible in the picture.

Throughout the past year, families and friends of the 91 people who were on board the black rubber boat contacted Alarm Phone as well as European authorities in their search for their loved ones, but nobody could give them answers. 

Thanks to these collective efforts and self-organisation by the families, mostly in Darfur, a list of  missing people was created, showing 62 names and many pictures, giving a name, a face, a smile to many of those who European authorities made disappear at sea. 

Without bodies being found, and without clear answers, it is impossible for their families to know their fate and to have closure.

DEPORTATION OF EZZEDINE MEHIMMID TO UNSAFE SUDAN/REPORT FROM A KLM PASSENGER ABOUT EZZEDINE’S MISTREATMENT ON
BOARD OF THE KLM
Background:
Dear Readers,
As you probably have learned, I recently have written a couple
of letters to:
The Secretary of State, mr Mark Harbers
The KLM
Kenya Airways [1]
Reason?
The deportation of mr Ezzedine Rahmatallah Mehimmid to dangerous Sudan!
Because Sudan not only is governed by a hard, repressive dictatorship
[since 1989], which violates human rights on an extreme level, also
in warstricken Darfur, warcrimes and crimes against humanity
are committed! [2]
And moreover, the International Criminal Court at the Hague issued
a warrant of arrest for Sudan’s president, Omar al-Bashir on
charges of crimes against humanity and warcrimes! [3]
Needless to say, that deportation of refugees to such a country
is dangerous, especially since mr Ezzedine Mehimmid comes
from warstricken Darfur!

THE DEPORTATION OF EZZEDINE MEHIMMID TO UNSAFE
SUDAN/KENYA AIRWAYS COMPLICITY/REACTION TO THE
ANSWER OF KENYA AIRWAYS
BACKGROUND:
Dear Readers,
Recently I wrote Kenya Airways to stop the deportation of
the Sudanese refugee mr Ezzedine Rahmatallah Mehimmid,
who was deported on orders of the Dutch authorities to Sudan.
Since the human rights situation is very bad in Sudan and
especially in Darfur, where still warcrimes are committed
by president Omar Bashir [1] and mr Mehimmid comes
from Darfur, it is very risky for him!

”RARA, WHO’S LEGAL ORDER IS IT?”/”WHERE IS THE DUTCH REBELLION?”/

THE FORBIDDEN TEXTS OF JOKE KAVIAAR
I AM COMMITTING A CRIMINAL OFFENCE
Because I am spreading the forbidden texts of Joke Kaviaar.
WITH PRIDE!
 
Why?
Because Joke Kaviaar fights the inhuman Dutch asylum
policy, which is chasing refugees, treating them inhumanely,
pressing them to suicide and driving them into death by
deportation to warstricken countries, and exposing them
to persecution.
With criminal cooperation of air companies like KLM
[Dutch Royal Airlines]

Asylum Policy in the Netherlands/Painted slogans at the homes of leading Dutch immigration Policy Officials by action group ”The Visitors”/Statement of solidarity

HOUSE OF THE DIRECTOR MIGRATION POLICY AT THE DEPARTMENT
OF SECURITY AND JUSTICE, ONE OF THE HEAD RESPONSIBLES
FOR THE INHUMAN DUTCH ASYLUM POLICY
ASYLUM POLICY IN THE NETHERLANDS/PAINTED SLOGANS
AT THE HOMES OF HIGH DUTCH IMMIGRATION POLICY OFFICIALS
BY ACTION GROUP ”THE VISITORS”/STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY
In the night of 3-4 october, action group ´´The Visitors´´, sprayed painted slogans and threw paint at the homes of Harke Heida (Rijswijk), director migration policy at the Department of Security and Justice and Jos Willemsz Geeroms (The Hague), senior advisor at the Immigration and Naturalisation services (IND) and releasemanager for its IT-system INDiGO.
This is a direct protest against the inhuman asylum policy in the Netherlands.
Their Statement says:
 
´´Last night (3 – 4 October) we, ‘The Visitors’, spray painted slogans and threw paint at the homes of Harke Heida (Rijswijk), director migration policy at the Department of Security and Justice and Jos Willemsz Geeroms (The Hague), senior advisor at the Immigration and Naturalisation services (IND) and releasemanager for its IT-system INDiGO. We also delivered a stinking bomb at Geeroms’ home.

We make a clear stance against the racist migration policy of the Dutch state. Civil servants like Heida and Geeroms are directly co-responsible for the daily torture of thousands of people behind prison walls and for the many deportations of people who will meet a sure death in the country they are forced to go to. Heida and Geeroms will most likely claim they are only doing their job and that all these crimes are not their responsibility. But they do make themselves complicit to a colonial system of repression and exclusion. We hold them responsible for their contributions to the Dutch policies and practices of exclusion, detention and deportation of migrants. No one should make a living out of this inhumane system. No longer they can do their “jobs” in the anonymity and pretended innocence they’ve been hiding in so far.

We’ll keep on fighting for a world without borders and an end to the capitalist system that ruins the world and keeps billions of people in the grip of poverty, hunger, war, oppression and exploitation.´´ (1)
