Calais - Pas-de-Calais - France - Europe [9/2005]

26-09-2005 22:49

Trois ans. Trois années bientôt que le camp de Sangatte a été fermé en grandes pompes médiatico-gouvernementale. Trois années qui sont passées vite, mais qui n'ont pas changé le bourbier calaisien. Terre de passage, le Calaisis, première porte vers l'Angleterre, connaît depuis maintenant une décennie l'arrivée de personnes migrantes, réfugiées et isolées. Très vite, avec ces personnes, sont réapparues des pratiques de contrôle policier qu'on pensait oubliées, car trop connotées historiquement, du moins en Europe et en France. Mais il a vite fallu se rendre à l'évidence que notre vocabulaire devait s'enrichir des mots "rafles", "traque", "chasse" ou "déportation".

manuel bravo's death unnecessary with the court change

17-09-2005 10:25

The Independent today has a front-page exclusive on an asylum seeker based in Leeds, Manuel Bravo, who committed suicide in Yarlswood in order to prevent his son's deportation back to Angola. Their case had already been screwed by solicitors who took money and failed to represent them, and though they had not yet lost the case they were slammed into Yarlswood improperly to intimidate them - with this result. But there is a legal advance, the "court change", that all the big asylum groups have ignored and that would have made this disgusting injustice preventable.
