(en) Czech, AFED: No one is illegal - Invitation to a lecture tour of the No Borders collective about the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 In cooperation with other collectives, we invite you to a series of discussion

evenings, which are part of a lecture tour dedicated to the current situation on
the Polish-Belarusian border. From February 23 to March 4, our friends from the
No Borders Team (NBT) will visit a dozen cities to talk about how inhumane
supposedly civilized Europe can be. ---- No Borders Team is an anarchist
grassroots group uniting individuals from various collectives from all over
Poland and Europe who oppose the actions of border authorities whose aggression
is directed at people seeking refuge in the European Union. ---- As a group, NBT
believes that freedom of movement and residence is a basic human right.
Therefore, they do not agree with the authorities' policy of categorizing people.
No person is illegal and solidarity and mutual aid are the answer to a system
based on xenophobia and contempt for people from different ethnic groups.

In recent times, NBT has been particularly concerned with the situation on the
Polish-Belarusian border, where a barrier made of razor wire was built and where
refugees who try to cross it are treated inhumanely by repressive forces. On the
one hand, the fundamentalist conservative government in Poland protects the lives
of unborn individuals by banning abortion in its misogynistic campaign, but it
allows living people to die of hunger, freezing and self-inflicted injuries with
calmness and contempt. For example, on Sunday, February 12, the body of a
28-year-old woman of Ethiopian origin was found dead on the border between Poland
and Belarus, who died after Polish border guards did not provide her with first aid.

During the "No One Is Illegal" tour, talks will be held in the following dates
and cities:

Each of the talks will start with a screening of a short film about the
Polish-Belarusian and Polish-Ukrainian borderlands, on which NBT collaborates
with local and other activists. It shows the differences between the two sides of
the European Union's eastern border: one is open and welcomes people who are
fighting against the Russian invasion, and the other at the same time - just 300
km away - is killing people who are fleeing another war.

The screening will be followed by a presentation led by friends from NBT, where
there will also be space for discussion, questions or sharing different
perspectives on how to help people move right now.

If you cannot participate in the tour, but want to support the No Borders Team,
for example financially, you can do so through the Firefond by making a
contribution to help people in guarded centers for foreigners.
