There was an article in the Tunisian newspaper „Le Temps“ on page 1 and 3 about the protest of Choucha refugees at the gate of the WSF with quotations from our leaflet, refugees and activists:

– A group of Choucha refugees continued the protest at the gate of the WSF with an own flyer and they went also on the WSF area with their banners for some time to show their demands.
– Others continued with the sit in at the UNHCR office.
– For the press conference at 2 p.m., which we had organized, representatives of all 4 groups of refugees came together and told something to a Senegalese journalist of an African newspaper and website called.

Latest news: 130 rejected refugees from the Choucha camp who wanted to go to Tunis for the WSF were blocked by military and police although they had official permissions and invitations. In the end, 8 Choucha people left by individual transport and arrived in Tunis this morning. But the 3 busses, which were payed by donations, could not leave. We must think about protests!!!

We want to meet with the Choucha refugees to go together to the WSF opening demonstration tomorrow, 26th March, and we made an appointment with Emad and two others of the accepted refugees (who arrived already in Tunis – the others will come tonight/tomorrow morning) to meet at 3.30 p.m. at the theatre (the demo will start at 4 at the Place du 14 janvier).

We want to collect some money for food and other expenses for Choucha people by distributing our flyer.

And again:
Meeting of the Choucha group on Wednesday, 27th March at 6.30 p.m. at the cafe in the Migration Village (Campus El Manara).

Das tunesische Militär hält im Moment – Montagabend – 180 Flüchtlinge aus de Camp Choucha in der Stadt Ben Gardane nahe der libyschen Grenze fest. Die Bewohner des Camps sollten eigentlich am Abend in drei Bussen nach Tunis fahren, um rechtzeitig zur Eröffnungsdemo des Weltsozialforums morgen um 16 Uhr hier zu sein. In den nächsten Tagen sind auf dem WSF verschiedene Aktionen zur Lage in Choucha geplant. Damit die Flüchtlinge diese durchführen können, wurden in den letzten Wochen nicht nur international Spenden gesammelt, sondern auch die nötigen Genehmigungen vom tunesischen Innen- und Verteidigungsministerium rechtzeitig eingeholt. Darüber setzt sich das Militär jetzt offenbar einfach hinweg. Die Choucha-Soligruppe in Tunis überlegt gerade Schritte, um auf diese Schikane zu reagieren. Weitere Infos bald.
