The Refugees Revolution Bus Tour has again been subject to severe police violence and repression. Following the enormous extent of police repression and violence in Karlsruhe and Cologne as well as the general police presence on most other tour stops, the racist police state has again shown its ugly reaction to our antiracist, anticapitalist refugee struggles. Today, the Refugees' Revolution Bus Tour and supporters from Lübeck and Kiel visited the lager "Erstaufnahmestelle" in Neumünster to spread flyers and inform refugees there about our protest. Since 9 a.m. 8-9 police cars were following the info tour. In front of the lager, many refugees were welcoming us and joined us on our rally in front of the lager. However, the refugee activists were stopped by massive police presence to enter the lager: A police chain blocked the lager outside and inside (!), 7 or 8 police cars were already waiting. Only 3 refugee activists were allowed to enter in company of social workers. During negotiations with the police, the remaining activists demanded that everyone could enter. Our demand was blankly ignored by the police, setting domestic authority much higher than the inhabitants' right to invite visitors. Thus, activists blocked a street to protest against the denial to enter the lager. The police again answered in an extremely
escalatory manner, elevating the number of present police officers. Then, the occupation was violently smashed. In total, 6 people got arrested and 4 were hurt. As in earlier protest actions, the police directed most of the violence towards refugees: It's always them that get attacked and injured by the police. While the supporters were set free quickly, the two detained refugees were kept in prison much longer and the "Ausländerbehörden" got activated. However, everyone could leave the prison after identity controls (19h30).
Now, the police are present in front of the workshop place. The repression
goes on...
Our political work was again sabotaged, criminalized and violently impeded.
We will not give in neither to the German Ausländerbehörde's politics of
fear and isolation nor to racist police violence. It is our basic and
human right to fight for our political demands in the streets!
**Break Isolation!!**
**No Borders and no repression against refugees!!**
