#ProtectnotSurveil: Bereits im April wurde der neue Migrations- und Asylpakt verabschiedet - mit noch mehr Technologie für noch mehr Überwachung von Flüchtenden und #peopleonthemove. Der neue Pakt erlaubt Zwangsmaßnahmen gegenüber Kindern ab 6 Jahren: https://algorithmwatch.org/de/eu-migrationspakt/
EU-Migrationspakt: Die Europäische Gemeinschaft der Überwachung - AlgorithmWatch

An den EU-Grenzen und den dortigen Abschiebelagern werden immer mehr Technologien eingesetzt, die die Privatsphäre verletzen. Der neue Migrations- und Asylpakt ermutigen geradezu, die gesellschaftlich bereits am stärksten Ausgegrenzten mit gefährlichen digitalen Systemen noch intensiver zu überwachen - auch Kinder.

⚠️A crucial remembrance in our discourse on #migration: While external support is invaluable,the true heroes are #PeopleOnTheMove.
Confronting daily #borderViolence, resisting and sometimes sacrificing all for hope.
And they've been the overlooked protagonists of their stories.

More deaths as a result of the #BorderRegime. Heartbreaking & fucking enraging.

Harrowing videos sent to @NoNameKitchen by #refugees, #PeopleOnTheMove, stranded on the border between #Bosnia and #Croatia. Since the videos, the group were picked up, all their money taken, held in a camp and pushed back to Bosnia, with no recourse to claiming asylum. #pushbacks

NoNameKitchen on Instagram: "Pushbacks, people risking lives and attacks to human rights ( part 1) On the 13th of December, as it was -2 degrees at the border between Bosnia and Croatia, one of our team members received a call from one Afghan person that she had met some weeks ago. M. (first letter of his name) was completely panicked, he said was stuck with five of his friends near the Sava river, on the Croatian side of the border, as he told us by phone. As there are no legal ways for people fleeing their country to safely reach the country they want, M. put his life in danger to hope to reach Europe. He called and explained by phone that with his friends, they decided to cross the Sava river on a boat to reach Croatia, but their boat broke and they ended up in the icy water of the river. They told that they found a small piece of land to sit on but as they were in a swampy area there were water holes everywhere and their legs were in the water. They were freezing there for four hours before they called us, totally desperate. They told us to call the emergencies or anyone we know that could get them out of there because they had no way out. We told them to call 112 which is the European number to call in case you are in danger but they couldn’t do it. As our team was in Serbia, we told one person we knew in Croatia to call the emergency services for them. The emergencies pressured our coleagues calling from Croatia very much to tell if the people stuck in the river were migrants or were people from Europe. We cannot understand this insistence when lives are at risk. Maybe the man from the emergency service had a specific reason to do so, but we do not know. Our coleagues in Croatia also sent a formal email with the proper location of the group in distress, as the people had shared it with us before. As we did not know at that moment if the emergencies would go to the people or not, we decided to use our contacts. We called organizations and people. But we got this answer from many. They couldn’t go directly to rescue the people because of the common criminalization of solidarity in Croatia. 🖊Solene 📷people shared this video to us from the river To be continued..."

I see that the #MelillaMassacre of June 2022, is now recorded on Wikipedia as the 'Melilla incident', stating that 23 people died in a stampede. This, despite #AmnestyInternational saying at least 37 died, with a further 77 unaccounted for - https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/moroccospain-stalled-investigations-smacks-cover-six-months-after-melilla-border.
This wasn't an 'incident' but a deliberate policy of violent repression where lives of #PeopleOnTheMove were deemed worthless. #BordersKill

@ariadne I'm disappointed that many people & groups I followed on Twitter, who report on migrant struggles & #PeopleOnTheMove, don't seem to be on here. As I can't get back on Twit without starting over with some new account, I'm finding it hard to get up to date info.
