Flóttamenn á Ásbrú eru ósáttir við þá meðferð sem þeir sæta af hálfu útlendingayfirvalda á Íslandi og skipulögðu mótmæli í síðustu viku þar sem settar voru fram fimm meginkröfur sem bætt gætu aðstæður þeirra til muna.

Þetta er í fyrsta sinn í mörg ár sem flóttafólk frá mismunandi löndum tekur sig saman og berst fyrir kerfislægum breytingum hérlendis. Þau geta komist langt ein, en ennþá lengra ef við stöndum með þeim.

Á fundinum verður fjallað stuttlega um hælisferli á Íslandi og mögulegar stuðningsaðgerðir við flóttamenn á Ásbrú ræddar.

Kröfur þeirra eru:
1. Ekki fleiri brottvísanir
2. Efnismeðferð fyrir alla
3. Réttur til að vinna
4. Jafn aðgangur að heilbrigðisþjónustu
5. Lokun flóttamannabúðana á Ásbrú

Refugees in Ásbrú have had enough of how they are treated by the Directorate of Immigration and the Icelandic government. Therefore they held a big protest last week where they put forward five demands that could drastically improve their situation.

This is the first time in years that refugees from different countries come together and fight for systematic changes in Iceland. They can get far alone, but they could get even further if we stand beside them.

At the meeting on Thursday, we will talk shortly about asylum seeking process in Iceland as well as possible actions to support the refugees in Ásbrú

Their demands are:
1. No More deportations
2. Substantial review for everyone, no more dublin
3. Work permit and secure housing
4. Equal access to healthcare
5. Closing down of the refugee camp in Ásbrú

Some thoughts extend and expand through writing.

This is a space to write down words on  on existence and politics, whatever that may mean for you. It could mean an honest strive for freedom.
