Den Haag SPUIPLEIN Protest Vluchtelingen op Straat 27/9 13u

CALL FOR ACTION - Tuesday, 27th of September,
Demonstration at 1pm SPUIPLEIN, cityhall, The Hague
Refugees protest against their
forced living on the street
We are refugees forced to live on the streets in the Netherlands. We have come together to
defend our basic human rights. We all face similar problems and that is why we will protest
together in The Hague on the 27th of September. The main reason for this protest is that we
don't have our basic needs like right to work, shelter, food and health care covered and as a
result we face the greatest problems any human can face. We are victims of inhuman, harsh
and unjust immigration policy. We advocate for a human, prudent and fair policy.
Because of the worsening situation of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants in the
Netherlands we are here to give a voice to all the refugees on the street and to protest
against the government policy of forcing people to live on the street with no possibilities and
nowhere to go. We don't even have access to shelters for homeless people. We are excluded
from society. We are only allowed to live from air and love.
It also happens that the Government rejects asylum claims on unjust grounds or distorts
asylum seekers' stories in order to reject their claims. We came to the Netherlands for sound
reasons and know that we cannot go back because of the situation in our home countries.
We are also protesting against the criminalisation of undocumented migrants and the
exclusion of migrants from Third World countries. We are not criminals and deserve to be a
part of society. We have the right to be treated as human beings. We were born free and
equal and we demand to be treated with dignity.
The group "Refugees on the street" was formed in Utrecht in July 2011. We arranged a
protest in Utrecht on the 5th of July in support of human rights of asylum seekers and
undocumented migrants. We ask for your support and participation in the protest in The
Hague on the 27th of September, so we can build a strong alliance to defend the rights of
asylum seekers and undocumented migrants in the Netherlands. There is a preparatory
meeting at STIL in Utrecht on the 16th of September at 5pm. All organizations and individuals
that want to support us are very welcome to join the meeting or the demonstration in The
Hague.
