Subject: Violent Eviction of refugees from occupied DGB-Union-headquarters in Berlin
Reply-To: kb <kendrabriken@YAHOO.DE>

Hi,

today, German Unionists called the police to evict the refugees which occupied their office since last week. The refugees are struggling for over two years now, and neither Government nor the church or any party did legalize their status in Germany. The Unions were their last resort after failing in so many other places and inhumanitarian bureaucratic structures.  
Again, (German) Unionists failed to send a message and to show solidarity with illegalized, non-working, non-white people.

By now, there isn't a lot of media coverage in english, but for those on facebook see https://www.facebook.com/refugeestruggle. For a video, see also   http://ruptly.tv/vod/view/15209/germany-chained-up-refugees-resist-police-eviction-from-occupied-building


Spread the word.
