Last week, we published the 20th issue of our Outsourcing Borders (OB) bulletin on EU externalisation policy. For those of you who don't subscribe, the OB bulletin uses internal EU documents, obtained through leaks or freedom of information requests, to reveal how the EU continues to restrict the rights and freedoms of non-European citizens far outside EU territory. We publish all the documents we can find for anyone to access, and provide summaries of their contents.
Since it began, the bulletin has helped expose the EU's agreements with oppressive regimes, such as in Libya, its tactic of using visas as a means of coercing countries into agreements, and much more.
No aspect of putting this bulletin together is easy. It takes significant time to write these FOIs, appeal denials, and build relationships with internal sources. Worse, however, is then having to read the documents we do receive. These are complex, jargon-heavy texts that discuss new tactics for controlling people's lives, restricting their rights and potentially causing them physical and emotional harm. And it is all done in flat, detached language.
It is a great deal of work—all done by Statewatch journalist Frey Lindsay, with limited support from volunteer contributors and Migration-Control.info—and it takes a toll. Yet we keep putting it out because we know it is necessary to hold states accountable. This bulletin is the paper trail of their misdeeds.
If you aren't already subscribed to the Outsourcing Borders bulletin mailing list, I encourage you to do so. Either way, I ask for your support to help us keep it going.
To commemorate our 20th issue, we ask everyone to chip in €20 (or £20). Your contribution will help us keep uncovering these secret agendas and protect the right to movement.
