*PERMIT REQUESTED*

FREEDOM FOR ALL!
SOLIDARITY WITH THE REBEL PRISONERS IN THE BÄSSLERGUT DEPORTATION PRISON

Prisoners in the Bässlergut deportation prison have held three hunger strikes since November 2024. Among them were Abdellah, Boujded and Khaled. Their struggle is directed against the entire inhumane asylum regime and the prison onditions: inadequate medical care, poor food, violence by the guards and solitary confinement. These conditions are neither isolated cases nor an exception. They are an expression of a violent Swiss and European asylum policy that aims to intimidate and oppress asylum seekers instead of providing them with support and protection.
Asylum camps and deportation prisons are an extension of Europe’s deadly external borders. Violance, disregard for basic human rights and deaths occur time and time again. The fact that the camps and prisons can only be visited to a limited extent and are often located far out in the peripheries it perpetuates a systematic isolation between prisnoers and the rest of the population. Behind closed doors and as its result, the deportation authorities all too often succeed in depriving asylum seekers of any rights to a life in dignity. They are turned into faceless numbers that need to be deported as soon as possible.

We do not want to accept this reality and are therefore calling for a rally in solidarity with the hunger strikers and all prisoners. The struggle that Abdellah, Boujded and Khaled are waging is also our struggle. Let’s break through the walls and support the struggle in the camps and prisons! We demand the immediate release of the hunger strikers and all prisoners everywhere! For an end to isolation, managament of people , disenfranchisement and for a life in dignity and freedom for all.

No borders, no nations - No human being is illegal - Fire and flames to the deportation machine!
