Download the Dublin II Deportation Diary (pdf, 700kb)
Why did you want me back in Greece?, ask the refugees being returned due to the Dublin II regulation from different other European countries. The deportation diary carrying the same name evolved out of a short visit in Athens, where activists from the newly founded infomobile project conducted interviews with refugees affected by this European regulation.
The findings, based on interviews with the people affected, are shocking and deeply disturbing. For although every story of flight to and within Europe is different, if we were to summarise, there are two main conclusions that need to be drawn.
In Greece, despite numerous announcements and communications of intent by the relevant authorities of the PASOK government, the situation has only worsened for refugees. There still is no support system for refugees providing even the most basic necessities, while the impact of the economic crisis has hit refugees the hardest: they are in an even more precarious situation by now. Frequent police raids have made their stay in Greece even more volatile and have increased the risk of repeated and prolonged detention under the same inhuman conditions documented countless times. At the same time, the Greek asylum system is still dysfunctional and only existent by name.
The Dublin II-regulation, on the other hand, destroys all hope refugees might have to reach their final destination and to escape the conditions in Greece by moving on to another European country. As the regulation stipulates that the responsibility for an asylum application lies with the country of first entry, many refugees that manage the journey onwards are simply deported back, without any examination of their situation. This leads to refugees straying around Europe, searching for protection and rest, sometimes even for years, only to find themselves deported back to Greece. Given the current situation of refugees in Greece, we contend that the human rights of refugees are fundamentally violated in Greece. Under this perspective, the Dublin II-regulation is a systematic violation of the non-refoulement principle laid down in the Geneva Convention on Refugees and needs to be abolished at once.
We invite you to follow the kaleidoscope of stories assembled in the report and to spread the word about it. The Dublin II-regulation is already under intense legal scrutiny by highest national and European courts, and it is the facts that you can read in this report that need to be brought to the public attention all over Europe: the state of the European asylum system in 2010 is a state of organised irresponsibility and violation of fundamental principle of human rights and international
laws.
We invite you to read, not to freeze but to get involved: it is an invitation to join the refugees’ struggles for freedom of movement. It is not enough to report. Convince your government to accept more refugees and stop sending them back here! was one of the instructions we received at Attiki Square in the centre of Athens.

I will pray for these refugees to have save voyage back home and have a good life there.
Werewolf, stop this hypocresy, man! Your country’s army has destroyed their countries, your country’s police imprisons and deports them, and you don’t need to pray, but to think if ou have done anything to stop this.
gotta support werewolf if s/he talks of the “americans” – the armed illegal aliens who invaded and totally destroyed socalled america.
the clou: if migration is non-violent it’s illegal, armed not!
make room for 200 million european squatters when manitou kicks them out
@C’MON. You are right, we need to take action to stop people suffering. I have given money to charity. I remember i gave some after 2004 Tsunami hit resorts in Thailand. I give money to charity and i pray. This is what we can do.
Get a clue. Prayers and charity, the most useless, patronising bollocks in the world. The only thing those can successfully do is remove your sense of guilt – have they achieved even that, dear liberal?
This is bloody ridiculous. This site is being populated by evangelist christian arseholes and Algonquin Great-Spirit worshippers. Get this Sitting Bull and Werewolf:- this is primarily an Anarchist, anti-authoritarian and Libertarian website concerned with the social crisis in Greece. The vast majority of its’ users are cast-iron atheists who reject, and despise, the notion of any kind of a god or ‘higher power’. Nor are they interested in any form of petty nationalism, particularly one based on ethnicity or primitive notions of nationhood…Or inverted racism. You won’t find any sympathy for your views here, so go grind your personal axe somewhere else…
Interesting to see how stupid you are:
1st this blog isn’t about the social crisis it came after the riots and it was about the riots! You are trying to make sumthang else out of it with your “anarchist” anti-riot policies since 5th of may by use of media lies!
Secondly it’s typical (white) eurocentristics to name indian thoughts as “rascist”.
F.i. HOMELAND SECURITY -fighting terrorism since 1492- is a reaction on 9/11 like the cheers from the reservations to the screen on 9/11 when all these world trade criminals had to die.
But for sure for “anarchists” like you are these reservations the small cores of “nationalism” and every bombed american embassy that gets replaced by indian tippies afterwards is an ugly (anti-european) crime, haha.
It’s so funny to see all you hippies demanding the rules of anarchy. There are no rules in anarchy, anarchy gots no name, ideology is religion, politics suck and the greek riots are something you will never understand. The (YOUR!) world today needs to get destroyed and if the army of one land has a problem to send more soldiers to Afghanistan you will never see the chance to destroy this army back home.
Your life is full of excuses hidden behind “anarchist” argumentations. If people and animals figure “cars are terrorists” you will call this anti-social just cos you’re just a lazy slob. If a “vegan” figures (cow)milk is not for babies you will call it sexistic cos someone’s (european?) tits are unable to feed.
FUCK THE (PARTS OF THE) HUMAN RACE THAT RAPES MUTHA EARTH

I implore the moderators to do something about Werewolf.
I have assumed for sometime that interventions on behalf of the baby Jesus ,like WEREWOLF and pals , were either crackpots or bored members of Special Branch assigned to monitor the site.INC BY HERA/ZEUS identifies anarchy with Rule-less behavior. An interesting philosophical question. As in are humans capable of completely rule-less behavior? Remembering that these rules include mathematics, formal logic,etc. The question is open but when all rules cease what is left is the white noise of the conceptually undifferentiated moment. This doesn’t appear to me to be a sound foundation for a communal but not yet social species. Perhaps this is ignoring the spirit in which the message was sent so to INC By HERA ‘Double Dumb Ass ‘ to you.
You said it!
Jerky students discussing rules of anarchy like censorshit, haha. There is one rule of revolution: “search education, destroy university!” and your schools too because who needs a “rule” that is not even a rule but just educated bullshit: mathmatics? Only rich bastards or idiots that think banks have to become owned by the masses instead of getting destroyed like your universities, cars and the rest shit for rich bumfucked scum that calls itself “anarchists” and is just citizens of the killer beast western society. If you study you never can be an anarchist cuz all your “logics” got only one aim: power. In this case manifested in claims for censorshit (that is already fascist attitude, btw), tryings of “anarchist” blog-definitions, aso.
Pol Pot is more anarchist than that career-shit and instead of discussing with wannabees a much more better perspective strategy to destroy this (white) civilization seems to be to convince the Taliban to become a feminist army cuz it looks like they are the only folks with a will to fight and like smart peasants they don’t wine like slaves about unemployment.
ALEX IS THE SECT. Reading any book is a form of study. More or less intensive. So I suppose reading books is out? Let me guess you have a whole list of books you would like to burn. And probably a list of people to go with it. Here is an argument A implies B,A, conclusion B. Where is the appeal to power overt or covert? You imagine that sufficient hatred will see you through the gaps in thought. Only to you and yours. And the roots of white civilization lie in the non white civilizations of Egypt, Persia etc. The Babylonian empire precedes the American Empire. You believe that ignorance is bliss? Then your welcome to it. But why can’t you enjoy your ecstatic state in silence?
Babeouf, considering the love this person has for Pol pot, i imagine reading is out, yes – especially if you need glasses
“convince the Taliban to become a feminist army”
Ha ha, go on then, give it a try
The wish to power starts with the use of some in-words of bloggers. Beside some really special words that no normal world proletarian can understand (and that get even more and more special with the use of shorter codes) we have f.i. “troll” that is for people outside of this scene not negative but becomes more and more just out of laziness and the stupid world around that talks words like this again and again. This language-shit gots even uglier examples and they only come out of a stupid wish for fashion and interesting in this is: the higher the schools are the more stupid these fashions become. Another good argument why universities should be for the underdogs and not for the need to be killed from the heart rich dadies’ creeps that spend all their fucking life in school.
The same shit like with the myth of the lemmings that – except from a faked Disney-film – never did mass-suicide or the trojan horse that wasn’t called trojan horse in the beginning because it was filled with Greeks. Similiar it goes for “civilizations”: The “greek democracy” was slavery and this term was only used as a myth 2000 years on like the horse by a small minority of intelectuals those “logic” dictates education until now and the reason why the western “civilization” came up has nothing to do with “roots” in the orient “civilizations” but stealing ideas into creating myths, massive robbing the “new worlds” and in the woods weren’t enough earthquakes to destroy the fuckers.
The invention of the book is religious bigotry and it also created racism because before the books came there were the gypsies to bring the news.
The original nature of humans is nomad, settle down makes stupid and destroys nature.
The original nature of some humans is to settle down in front of a industrially manufactured computer make stupid comments about destroying nature, and the evils of the written word…
Better than anti-redskin racism covered as anti-national “anarchist” cheap talk. The genocide against the indian nations is still on but the illegal states of america will get kicked out and back to europe.
Look dude, I’m sure plenty of Greek anarchists support the struggles of indigenous peoples across the world and deplore the genocide against the indian nations…(and anarchists have always supported the likes of Leonard Peltier and Russell Means..) But since they are somewhat busy at the moment with their own struggle, your constant emphasis on America, and your hatred of europeans isn’t really gonna ellicit much sympathy…Why not go post comments on a Tea Party/Republican or Neo-nazi site rather than making a nuisance of yourself here?
Sit down at the pier in Smyrna and smoke stuff from Kalamata:
Us don care what fashion people use for identification but we do care a lot about their stupid behaviour defending when found.
And calling oneself “anarchist” doesn’t make it better especially if it’s just another stupid flag to defend.
If you wanna change shit radically you have to dig for the roots and they are much deeper and more hidden than trendies (might) think.
It starts with not mentioned racism used by hipsters – i.e. dreadlocks and other cultural imperialist use of fashion, language, music, instruments – goes even worse with terms like “indigenous” or “aborigin” -that are only used to keep and hide behind a status quo and therefore they are rascist- and it goes on by never asking the “owners” of the raped countries to fly in; people get their stamps into their passports – that’s it. I’ve never seen any anarchist/radical actions against the embassies of these “nations”, NEVER! If there are rallies or attacks they may come under the flag of anti-imperialism but in a way that never questions the existence of these embassies and through this legitimates them and ceases to be radical.
If these Anarchists wanna visit the states they won’t ask Leonard Peltier for permition and they only support him when they think he is innocent. We doubt they give him all the rights to shoot just because it’s “his” land.
Capitalism roots in the occupation of Africa, America, Australia and the perspective of Anarchy is as far from reality as Canada will defunct.
So now you got the tea for your parties and really funny is that indians are allowed to go to Boston since 2005!
It took only 400 years…

Either that, or cut down on the fucking peyote.
Either that or you are just some tedious shill/troll/state agent throwing shit in the works..I give up!
