Flight shapes world events

People have to leave their homes because there is war, violent conflict, persecution or they are generally living in life-threatening conditions. Around 122 million people are currently on the run. Most of them find protection in their own country (internally displaced persons) or are taken in by a refugee camp in a neighboring country.

Deadly escape routes and dismantling of the right to asylum

While the number of people reaching Europe as asylum seekers is falling sharply, the number of people who die while fleeing to Europe is increasing. They die in unseaworthy boats on the Mediterranean, suffocate in trucks, starve to death in the desert. Every day, people die while Europe continues to tighten the asylum system. Human rights are being violated on a daily basis. The right to asylum is denied.

Against forgetting

We do not accept this. Above all, we want to remember all the people who often died without a name, who were not buried anywhere. Their families and loved ones mourn them nonetheless. Parents lost their children, children lost their parents. This cannot be allowed to continue. It is a scandal that we publicly deplore.

That is why we are naming the names of the deceased and remembering the circumstances in which they lost their lives. We stand up for the human rights of all, because these are indivisible. We call on the European states to abide by fundamental rights and not to suspend the individual right to asylum.
