Updates: January 8th 2011:
The rightful struggle of refugees in Greece

During the first decade of the 21st century Greece has been grossly violating international refugee law and refugees’ rights.

The situation has deteriorated since 2009 with the practical suspension of the asylum system, the growing impoverishment of refugees and the racist attacks against them.

The government elected in October 2009 announced the reform of the asylum system. However, and despite the ongoing process of legislative changes, so far the situation has remained unchanged. There have been announcements of new institutions (new appeals’ committees, asylum service, screening centers, reception centers), but their implementation requires significant investments. Given the economic problems of the country, the inefficiency of the civil service to absorb and manage EU funds and the weakening of the public sector due to the policy of cutting public expenditure, it is uncertain if and when these institutions will be implemented.

It is reasonable, therefore, that refugees intensify their protests. After many years of harassment and since they feel deceived by all sides, even by those who state that they support them, they turn to hunger strikes as a final resort in order to fight for their fundamental rights.

The state, taking advantage of the allegations that hunger strikers are threatening public order and public heath, deploys the riot police to remove forcibly the hunger strikers with the sewed mouths and their families.

However the refugee problem cannot be solved through violence nor by plans of dubious effectiveness, but only with immediately applicable solutions based on the respect of international refugee law which will ensure the rights of refugees.

The refugees cannot any wait longer. It is the duty of all sides involved (government, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, civil society) to take action for the immediate solution to the problem of refugees in Greece.

Letter of the Afghan Refugees to Embassies
"….
You might already be aware that we the Afghan political refugees have been at the Propylaea in Panepistimio, Athens, since November 22nd, 2010, in our effort to receive a response from the Greek state on our request for political asylum. Today January 10th, 2011, we complete 50 days here. In early December we sent our formal request to the Ministry of Civil Protection, and there has not yet been any response. On December 20th we decided to request an answer our selves by going to the Ministry of Civil Protection and staying there. With great sadness, however, we have to say that on December 21st at 2.30am the police forcibly removed us from there, hitting us and our wives and children. Some of us were injured and taken to Evangelismos Hospital.
After these events six men from our group took the most difficult decision they have ever had to take. On December 29th they decided to start a hunger strike and sewed their lips together, seeing this as the only way to get a response to our request for political asylum. As time passes, these men are putting their health and even their lives at grave risk because they are determined to continue to the end. The consequences of the hunger strike are already occurring and seriously affecting their health. Two of the six, due to health complications from the strike, have been transferred to hospital on three separate occasions on 4th, 8th and 9th of January, respectively.
Because of the critical situation of the hunger strikers and because more and more members of our group are wishing to participate in the hunger strike, a response to our request is imperative as soon as possible.
We ask for your understanding and we urgently need your support in our appeal for political asylum. Asylum is all we ask for; it is the only hope we and our families have of ever leading normal and decent lives after all the hardships we have experienced in our country and on our journey to Greece. In a world that has enough for everyone and when in essence all people are one, we have the expectation that there will be in others enough understanding and humanity to protect the people who need help.

Sincerely,
The Afghan political refugees
Propylaea Panepistimio
