"Fortress
Europe": More than 8800 Deaths
20 June 2007
International Refugee Day
UNITED has co-ordinated an
international refugee campaign since several years, which consists
of two complimentary parts:
- Protesting against the restrictive
asylum and migration policies, that are often referred to as
"Fortress Europe": especially focusing attention on
the deaths of already more than 8800 people who tried to find
a safe haven in Europe.
- Promoting a safe environment
for refugees and asylum seekers where they do not have to fear
racism and intolerance.
