Amed Ahmad fled the war in Syria and lived in Geldern. On 6 July 2018, he was arrested without cause. He was deprived of his liberty for 73 days until he burned to death in his cell in Kleve Prison on 17 September 2018 under as yet unexplained circumstances. He spent 12 days in hospital. His father, who lives in Bonn, was not notified during this time. He only learned of his son's death through the media. His mother and siblings were fleeing the war in Syria. Amed longed for them and feverishly awaited their reunion.
Repeated excuses, lies, cover-ups and mishaps are being constructed to portray the death of Amed Ahmad as a "accident". Tomorrow, Tuesday 9 March 2021, the 28th parliamentary enquiry committee on the subject will take place in the NRW state parliament. On this occasion, the parents, friends and family of Amed Ahmad are calling for a press conference.
Corona hits us refugees particularly hard. Above all, our sisters and brothers, our children, who are on the move at the borders of Europe in search of a safe place, are living in a nightmare. Our families and acquaintances whom we have had to leave behind in our countries of origin are, in addition to the pandemic, perhaps additionally affected by wars or the economic consequences of the pandemic or sanctions. They are struggling to survive every day. Maybe they are also affected by the persecution of dictatorial regimes that forbid them to organise and stand up for their rights as workers, women, pupils and students or teachers.

7 January 2021 marks 16 years since the gruesome death of Oury Jalloh. He was unlawfully detained by the police in Dessau, maltreated, chained hand and foot and burned to death in the tiled cell No. 5 of the police station in Dessau. On the same day, the lies and cover-up attempts by the Dessau police and public prosecutor's office and their connected organs began. All questions from the family, acquaintances, friends of Oury Jalloh were dismissed. The burning questions prompted us to formulate them publicly in an organised way.
