Thank you all for the great demonstration with up to 5000 people!!
Press release of the protesting refugees in Berlin and throughout Germany:
Nation-wide mobilization more and more successful!
5000 at Refugees‘Revolution demo!
„The Refugees‘ Revolution demonstration of 23.03.2013 with over 5000 participants again sets a strong signal against our exclusion, isolation and inhumane living conditions. It is an unequivocal rejection of a government policy of ignorance, repression and blockade against our claims and actions.
Another major success of the r efugee-protestslies in the ever-growing participation of the self-organizing fugitives from many cities throughout Germany who followed our call(including Frankfurt / Main, Leipzig, Hamburg, Hannover, Braunschweig, Wolfsburg, Magdeburg, Passau, Regensburg, Würzburg, Nuremberg Bayreuth, Halberstadt, Bitterfeld, Halle, Munich, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Cologne, Bremen, Deutschland, Rostock and Kiel). No repression by state authorities against the one year long refugee-protests, no police attacks against the Refufgees Revolution Bus Tour could stop us. Neither denied leave passes through immigration authorities nor police checks during the journey to yesterday’s demonstration with temporary detentions took effect.
And we are more and more every day. We have come to stay! (mehr…)

--- German below---
The Refugees Revolution Bus Tour has again been subject to severe police violence and repression. Following the enormous extent of police repression and violence in Karlsruhe and Cologne as well as the general police presence on most other tour stops, the racist police state has again shown its ugly reaction to our antiracist, anticapitalist refugee struggles.

We visited a Lager in ( Horst ) about 52 km far from Hamburg.Its the most worset lager we visit so far. The lager is located in quite isolated area in a very small village about 7 houses.
One the way to the lager the police was waiting for us.crossing a forest which led to the lager.We just passed the police forcely.We said to the police that no reason to stop us in the street.
We arrived the lager.it was surrounded by tens of the police cars.
We had an action in front of the lager a few refugees joined.we have heard that from some of the refugees that the lager mangment sold out some of the refugees to talk to the other refugees not to come out and join the bus tour action.and making kind of propagnda that those who are joining the bus tour are radical and they may effect your asylum case if join them.
At 16:00 we got back to Hamburg where we spent one more night.

Ten minutes later tens of police cars arrived. At that time we were distributing flyers. The police didn‘t come in. They were waiting at the entrance.

HEUTE 17 Uhr Solidaritäts Demonstration gegen Festnahmen und Polizeigewalt
10.03.2013: Die Kölner Polizei greift Refugees‘ Revolution Bustour brutal an, verhaftet 19 Aktivist_innen und verletzt mehrere Menschen schwer. Wir, die streikenden Geflüchteten in Berlin und unterwegs, verurteilten den wiederholten Angriff auf die Refugees-Bus-Tour und ihre regionalen Unterstützer_innen. Schon am 08.03.2013 kam es in Karlsruhe zu wilden Angriffen der Polizei, siehe indymedia: Soli Demo Karlsruhe.
Vorwand für die Attacke in Köln mit Schlagstöcken und Pfefferspray war, dass Flyerauf dem Gelände des Flüchtlingslager Geißelstraße in Köln-Ehrenfeld verteilt wurden. Noch immer sind 2 Geflüchtete in Gefangenschaft und sollen u.U. dem Haftrichter vorgeführt werden.
