Abschiebe-, Abschottungs- und Repressionspolitik hören auch zu Festen und Feiertagen nicht auf!
Deshalb bieten wir zwischen den Feiertagen auch dieses Jahr wieder einen Notbetrieb für Asyl- und Aufenthaltsfragen mit dringenden Fristen an:
23.12. / 24.12. / 27.12. / 30.12. und 31.12. jeweils zwischen 9:00 und 13:00 Uhr
Wir bitten um Verständnis, dass wir andere Anliegen während dieser Zeit nicht bearbeiten können. Wir wünschen euch allen schöne und erholsame Feiertage!
Autonome Strukturen sind stets (auch) Schutzräume: Für Täter*innen.
„In Deutschland können Polizist*innen ein schwer traumatisiertes, Suizid gefährdetes Kind mit einer halbautomatischen Waffe durch einen Zaun erschießen, obwohl zu keinem Zeitpunkt Gefahr für sie bestand, die Bodycams vorher alle ausschalten, im Nachhinein von einem Versehen sprechen und dann nicht nur straffrei davon kommen sondern von vielen als Helden gefeiert werden.“
