URGENT REQUEST NOT TO COOPERATE WITH THE
DEPORTATION OF THE SUDANESE REFUGEE EZZEDINE
RAHMATALLAH MEHIMMID, TODAY, SATURDAY 5 JANUARY 2019
SUBJECT:
BAD HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN WAR STRICKEN
SUDAN AND THE PERSONAL RISKS FOR THIS REFUGEE
Dear Board of Directors
Dear Management
To begin with:
I wish you a Happy, Healthy and Fullfulling New Year.
This day, 5 januari 2019, is your chance to make a very good
start for 2019.
If you choose to do so.
I already wrote it under subject:
It concerns your cooperation with the deportation of the Sudanese
refugee Mr Ezzedine Rahmatallah Mehimmid to Sudan.
He has already been deported from the Netherlands with the cooperation of
the villainous KLM, which regulary cooperates with the deportation
of refugees to unsafe countries, something for which I have chastised
them regularly. [1]
KLM Flight number 565, this morning [5 januari]
Dutch time: 12.00
You are supposed to give your further cooperation with his
deportation and mr Mehimmid will be deported by your
Company at 5 january in the evening hours.
Your Flight number: KL4202
Your departure time: 23.20
UNLESS YOU DO THE RIGHT THING AND STOP THIS DEPORTATION!
SUDAN/DARFUR
Because it is a very dangerous situation you are sending mr
Mehimmid to!
As you’ll probably know, mr Mehimmid comes from Darfur, where
the Sudanese government committed many atrocities as warcrimes
and crimes against humanity, and still does. [2]
Therefore it’s obvious that a refugee, stemming from Darfur,
is extra at risk when deported to Sudan.
And that’s not all:
From a very reliable source [alas in Dutch, so I can’t give
you the note] I learned, that mr Mehimmid was already tortured,
when living in Sudan.
So that’s the crime of the Dutch government, not giving this man
asylum.
But leave the Dutch government where it is.
I will deal with them anyway and also write to the KLM
about their criminal complicity.
Now I set my hopes on you.
Because you have the possibility and the power, not to
cooperate with this deportation and to possibly send him to his torture
and his death.
So I hope wholeheartedly you will stop this deportation.
But when you are not, you are part of the deadly problems
mr Mehimmid faces when arrived in Sudan.
So do the right thing, please and begin this New Year with
honour and good dignity.
Thank you for reading this letter.
Kind regards
Astrid Essed

‘The human rights situation has not improved. Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and aligned forces, notably the newly created Rapid Support Forces, have continued to attack civilians in Darfur, Southern Kordofan, and Blue Nile with utter impunity. National security agents engage in entrenched patterns of repression, targeting civil society leaders, human rights activists, and students for harassment, arbitrary detentions, and torture; restricting civil society organizations and independent media; and using lethal force to disperse protesters, killing hundreds in broad daylight”
