Crete, Greece, active members of the Crete Forum of Migrants, have been
on hunger strike, demanding the legal status they are eligible for,
fighting for dignity and equal rights, for them and their families, for
all migrants within Fortress Europe.
You can read more about this in posts of this blog http://clandestinenglish.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/chani...days/ (their first public statement featuring their demands and the context of the struggle), http://clandestinenglish.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/chani...rike/ (a summary of events of the first 10 days), and http://clandestinenglish.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/chani... ;(for the last 5 days, 20-25 Novemeber).
Full information in Greek in http://www.clandestina.org/indexa.html and the http://www.clandestina.org/indexa.html. ;
You can download and watch a video with hunger-strike footage http://rapidshare.com/files/166769709/ap_pein_met_xania.avi (no subtitled version yet, still worth-watching).
International public statements of
support and solidarity, personal, collective or institutional, are very
much and urgently needed. Please, forward them to the Initiative for Solidarity at mailto:protoboulia.metanastes.chania@gmail.com (this is the collective established for organizing and promoting the struggle).
THE HUNGER - STRIKERS’ DEMANDS ARE FAIR!
THEIR STRUGGLE IS A JUST CAUSE FOR ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE FORTRESS EUROPE!
SOLIDARITY WITH THE CHANIA HUNGER STRIKERS!
