Wanneer: 27/05/2024 - 23:34
Last Thursday (23rd of May) there was an enormous revolt inside the detention centre in Rotterdam airport.
60 prisoners expecting deportation revolted and fought off the jailers, wounding 7. There have been no reports of casualties during the heat of the uprising under the resisters. 14 resisters were afterwards forced into isolation cells. [Info source: Telegraaf]
Today (Monday 27th of May) we held a spontaneous noise demo to show our solidarity and support for their courageous actions! We waved and shouted to each other "FREEDOM NOW!"
None are free until all are free.
Fire to the prisons with the jailers inside!
-some anarchists
Actually 17 people were placed in isolation. Everyone who worked with undocumented people know Rotterdam detention center is hell. People are locked up for weeks without process, often refugees for who being locked up triggers traumatic experiences. If they get anxiety or stress problems, they are often medicated with tranquillizers. Once released and kicked out on the streets, they are fully dependent on pain meds. Solidarity with the uprising!
