About Hafiz:
Hafiz, 24 years old, has been locked up for 4 months in the closed center at Merksplas. He has been living in Belgium for 4 years already. His request for asylum was denied. He was arrested on march 12 when he
started a hunger strike together with 60 companions to protest against the situation of undocumented people in Belgium. He was arrested immediately and locked up in a closed center. You can listen to the
interview with him here:
http://www.gettingthevoiceout.org/ze-wilden-me-terugsturen-naar-afghanis...
He already has refused a first deportation. The police escort has warned him at the time: “Next time you will be escorted and we shall use violence.” This phrase sounds like an explicit threat to Hafiz. He is afraid he
will have to undergo serious molestation, just like his Iranian friend, mr. Muhamed, who was beaten up heavily during his deportation to Iran (tied to a chair and beaten by 7 police officers).
He also fears for his life in Afghanistan. The aliens police, especially well informed about the situation over there, says that Kabul is a safe area.
Nevertheless Hafiz' brother was murdered by the Taliban a few months ago. Above that he risks that the Taliban will accuse him of being a spy for the West. And he is also afraid of being arrested by the Afghan
authorities because he left the country illegally.
The ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to deport him to Kabul via Amsterdam.

Hafiz refuses to be deported to Afghanistan. His life will be in danger there. Only death awaits him there.
Call out for Belgium: We gather Saturday July 14 at 9.20 h. at the airport of Zaventem to prevent this deportation from happening, by talking to passengers and KLM personnel as they check in.
Thanks on behalf of those who are imprisoned without cause in these prisons!
