Activists of the “Community for All” alliance are securing their demands in front of the Darmstadt courthouse in addition to the fundamental rights articles attached to an arcade there.

Around 15 activists from the “Community for all” alliance demonstrated on Friday morning in front of the Darmstadt judicial building for the abolition of deportation detention without replacement. The activists attached plaques to the pillars of the “Arcade of Fundamental Rights” with specially formulated demands, in order to advertise “for the right to stay and to go”. The campaign’s motto was “Fundamental rights and human dignity for everyone!”

During the pop-up exhibition it was also informed that at least five deportation inmates from Hesse are currently housed in a deportation prison in Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg. Three men from Turkey, Morocco and Tunisia, who have been deported for more than three months, were already housed in the only Hessian detention facility in Darmstadt-Eberstadt. When the corona virus spread, the facility was completely closed at the end of April and the prisoners had been transported to Pforzheim.

“Refugees for Refugees”, a self-organized counseling center for and for refugees from Stuttgart, also announced on Thursday afternoon that the two prisoners from Turkey and Morocco, who had been transferred from Darmstadt to Pforzheim, were now on a hunger strike.

The detainees demand that they be deported immediately because they “can no longer tolerate the continued violation of their rights and the manipulation of their detention,” said the Stuttgart counseling center. According to the “Community for All” activists, the imprisoned Turk is a convicted drug dealer who has been living in Germany for 30 years and who has served his sentence. One of the two North Africans threatened a woman. Courts are said to have confirmed and extended his detention several times.

On a poster in the area of ​​the “Arcade of Fundamental Rights” two activists with the inscription “Evacuate hotspots.” Fundamental rights for all #leavenoonebehind “. Alliance member Lukas said in his speech that, according to a lawyer from Hanover, who has been representing refugees for almost two decades, about half of his clients were wrongly detained. Therefore, it should also be shown in front of the Darmstadt courts that “especially refugees, but often also migrants in Germany are and are consistently excluded from fundamental rights”.

“We therefore demand that fundamental rights apply to all people in Germany, not just those with German citizenship,” said the 29-year-old.

Although people in other European countries are even worse off than in Germany, this can “not be a yardstick”. Fundamental rights should “apply to everyone in Germany”, but this is “miles away”, said the Alliance activist,
