Solidariteit met de Horgoš-hongerstaking
As it happened many times before in the history of the self-organized migrant struggle we are witnessing another hunger strike, this time at one of the most militarized borderzones in Europe: the serbian-hungarian border. After the march from Belgrade to Horgos about 140 person went on hunger strike, as they see no other way how to protest against the imperialist wars for profit that is affecting peoples lives all over the globe, and against the war which the EU conducts against migrants. The protesters told us that they are doing the strike for all people who are in a similar situation, and not only for themselves to cross the border. Unfortunately there is not much media coverage, specially not about the political demands. The people on hungerstrike refuse to take food, tents or any protection from the sun, staying on an open field without any shadow not far from the tents of the people who are waiting to enter the transit zone. Four persons were already brought to hospital because of collapse, due to the extreme conditions. After the very hot weather, the whole area was flooded by heavy rain. As they said they don’t need items, tents and water, the only thing they are asking for is a powerful solidarity from all sides to avoid the ignorance of their struggle. Showing physical presence in a common protest on the location is welcomed. Spread the voice!
