ANTIRACIST ME, AND YOU?
Saturday, April 3 organize the workshop in collaboration with hip-hop anti-racist UrbanBeing an evening entitled "IO
ANTIRACIST . We'll talk about what's happened in Italy today and denounce the horror that you live every day in the CIE, with screenings of videos and hip-hop, From aperitifs until the evening. We
word about what is happening in Italy in terms of the rights of migrants. We do this because the situation is dramatic. We do this because although the news does not talk about the situation of thousands and thousands of people detained without having committed any crime, we are not blind, we are not blind. We note that today the detention of some migrants without the proper documentation is already a story, but does not seem to be a story that today, given the laws on immigration (Bossi-Fini law and security package in the first place), it is normal that there are people who lose permission to stay in Italy, and with it every single law.
is happening in Italy that the league doubles the consents with respect to previous regional elections, and does so openly using the language of racism. In CIE
Italian rapes occur (such as
attempted on Joy Street in the CIE and Hellen Corelli Milan), mistreatment, beatings (as demonstrated by the video YouReporter and other associations, which we publish on our blog and projecting future) . In the CIE it is even forbidden to bring in cell phones, and communication with the exterior is made almost impossible. In CIE
go there to finish people living in Italy for decades , who have always worked and contributed to the wealth of social, economic and cultural life of our country who have lost their jobs and with it the permission to stay.
The Bossi-Fini law, the security package and CIE are a dramatic device social exclusion, reduce human beings, migrants (as we were Italian immigrants in times of famine), with arms for use in the toughest jobs and to get rid when the global press, or through which illegal employment and overexploited, enslaved, out of a crisis certainly not determined by us.
Given all that, faced with a constraint imposed by the illegality and clandestine relationship between work and home and obtaining a residence permit (often after it has expired), in the face of beatings, such as that a few nights ago in Rome sparked yet another revolt of prisoners, we believe it is impossible to surprise, and we feel closer than ever and close to all inmates unjustly, without having committed crimes in these camps. They deserve our solidarity. According to them, but to us that we could go tomorrow finirci, even to us by an Italian citizen but never end up there that we are in solidarity and anti-racist commitment to dedicate continue the journey, which began the first of March, towards building a strong movement NO ICE, for everyone's rights and against racist laws.
We are interested in, and much, also denounce what is happening in Tuscany because here we are, we live here, and here we go on living. During the election campaign
the Northern League of Arezzo is set to distribute to markets disposable soap to clean their hands after touching a person migrant: this brilliant idea perhaps xenophobic party has yielded a substantial increase compared to previous regional, as it is passed from 1, 3 to 8% in 2005, 35% of recent elections (in the province of Arezzo, reaching above average Regional, which is 6.5%, therefore).
In recent months, it happens that the trains are Polfer agents seeking documents. So far, so it may even appear normal, but it becomes less than normal when you consider the fact that it is not usual to ask for the documents the Tuscan feel and be identified on the train, many of us are studying or working in cities such as Florence or Pisa, and @ We all get used to such "kindness", nor do we feel safer @. There even seems normal that the documents are not applied equally to all passengers, but only to a carriage compartment, one with more people with darker skins, or traits unmistakably foreign, such as almond-shaped eyes for example. What happens if a citizen is undocumented?
idignamo We face a society and institutions that criminalize migrants, we are absolutely not in a Tuscan sauce League, and when we learn of the practice of such tests we can think of Milan, with the anti-immigrant raids made by the brigade on the buses line, we can think of the darkest years of the last century (which many of us have not seen, but in today's perfectly able to imagine).
So we invite all democratic citizens to recognize the extraordinary acts of racism (not control what is normal), and its refusal to hear: to make public the number of our association and we available to our attorneys for those without papers, had run into problems like this and he needed a lawyer.
We wish to emphasize our concern as expressed in the election campaign about the possibility of a collaboration with the Government of the Region, regarding the construction of a CIE in Tuscany, although the form of small towns to the dignity and human rights. " We can not think of as the identification and deportation centers, regulated by national agreements, may in Tuscany, if built, take the form of centers to integration and to stabilize the detainees. The CIE is inhuman nature being made to imprison without due process, persons guilty of administrative offenses only (no documents) and not crimes.
For the first time since 1938, the year of the racial laws passed by fascism, we are witnessing a punishment of the person's condition and behavior.
Detention in CIE is highly unconstitutional as it affects the personal freedom of the migrant. Article 13 of the Constitution protects the freedom as a fundamental right also to "foreign
still present throughout the state."
Based on direct experience, documented testimonies, reports, videos, surveys and reports of authoritative organizations such as Doctors Without Borders and Amnesty International as well as government officials, technical experts, members of voluntary associations, and we affirm the unconstitutional of CIE centers annihilation of human dignity which sadly reflects the condition of a country victim and perpetrator of a more widespread and entrenched racism.
ask you to reflect on the events that occurred in the CIE (ribelioni and beatings), and to hear the voice of the voluntary sector, the basis of religion, who have complained about the invivibilità , acts of self-harm and suicide in which although many people use to escape the dreadful condition to which they are subjected. We ask the winning region and to the President to say a big NO to the CIE in Tuscany, as for the protection of the dignity no human can be invoked on the use of half-measures. We ask the Tuscany to give a strong signal to the entire country and reject the xenophobic and intolerant climate constantly perpetuated and fed by the Bossi-Fini law, saying a big NO to Cie.
ask to Tuscany to stay democratic and to maintain the highly critical assessment against the Bossi-Fini law as guaranteed by the "Democratic Programme Tuscany" and consistently apply the principles of inclusiveness and respect for human rights enshrined in immigration law that Tuscany is given.
The great day of the first in March 2010, in which thousands and thousands of citizens from Tuscany, together with citizens all over Europe, shouted a loud no to racism and discrimination, asserted the right to migrate, enshrined in international conventions on human rights, said a clear no to the migrant camps, no to ICE: neither in Tuscany or elsewhere.
We invite all local committees to take up the Tuscan speech rights and against racism, even ahead of the next National Assembly of the March First Movement, held in Rome on 11 April, which will discuss the priorities of the movement.
