Das #Urteil gegen die zwei geflüchteten Männer ist gefallen- in 30 Minuten wurden sie zu lebenslangen Haftstrafen verurteilt- nur weil sie ihr Recht, Asyl zu suchen, wahrgenommen haben. Ein Skandal, der in Griechenland Alltag ist. Gemeinsam mit @de-criminalize.eu unterstützen wir die Betroffenen.

We will also hear directly from some of the boys via video and audio messages.

We will speak about the situation of Sudanese war refugees imprisoned in Greece, the ongoing war in Sudan, how European smuggling laws are used to criminalize migration and justify mass incarceration and the colonial continuities that underpin these injustices and systematic violence today.

Their lays bare the continuum of neocolonial violence: barely adults, they fled a brutal war fueled by imperialist and geopolitical interests, survived Libya's EU-funded detention industry – only to be punished with prison in Europe for facilitating their own and others' arrival and survival.

We shared stories of those imprisoned for acts like steering a boat, and exchanged strategies of resistance, care, and collective strength in the face of this repression.

We are many and we are strong! Solidarity will win! 4/4

Together with comrades from Greece, Spain, Egypt, France & Italy we discussed how the so-called fight against smuggling has become a tool to legitimize the criminalization of migration and solidarity — feeding into wider systems of mass incarceration and border violence. 3/4

“Sabir,” once the common language of Mediterranean sailors, now symbolizes the need to rebuild a shared language grounded in civil society. 2/4

These arrests and trials are disguised as “fighting crime,” but in truth are designed to deter, to scapegoat, and to produce statistics.

We will keep fighting — inside and outside the courtroom —
until this arbitrary and racist criminalisation finally ends! 5/5

We are relieved they had strong legal defence and that the sentence wasn’t as extreme as the prosecution requested.

However, it is deeply troubling that people face completely different outcomes: some are acquitted, while others receive sentences of 10 years or more for exactly the same thing. 4/5

Thanks to the work of our lawyer, however, the court accepted several mitigating circumstances.

Both were sentenced to 10 years filakisi — filakisi meaning early release is possible after 2/5 of the time (~4 years), which can be further reduced if they study or work in prison. 3/5
