Ma. 09, 19.00, Boats4People Benefit, Volkseten Vegazulu, vegan food, no reservations, donations welcome. With special guests: Diyar and K-Man, saz & baz acoustic duo ( kurdistan / belgium). Boats4People [http://boats4people.org/] zal in juni 2012 de Middellandse Zee opgaan met een vloot van solidaireitsboten. Aan boord zullen activisten en waarnemers de activiteiten van EU-agentschap Frontex in de Middellandse Zee nauwgezet volgen. In de Middellandse Zee wordt de oorlog tegen migratie pijnlijk duidelijk; duizenden mensen verdrinken ieder jaar in de slotgracht rond Fort Europa. De vloot wordt een varend protest tegen de repressieve migratiepolitiek van Europa, dat getekend wordt door een steeds verder toenemende criminalisering, een flinke dosis racisme en dat desastreuze gevolgen heeft.

Do. 12, 19.00, Benefit and info night: “Repression and censorship against anarchist migration activism”, Volkseten Vegazulu, vegan food, no reservations, donations welcome. On september 13th 2011 anarchist activist and writer (against Dutch and European migration politics) Joke Kaviaar was arrested and held in custody for three days on charges of ‘incitement – with terroris intent’. Meanwhile, her house was searched thoroughly, the police were clearly out on a fishing expedition for more and any information.Nearly three months later, on december 7th, her website http://www.jokekaviaar.nl was taken offline by the Public Prosecution. Within a day the website was back online, as well as many mirrors. At the moment the threat of yet another arrest, for the repeated ‘thought crime’ because she is keeping the ‘incitive’ texts online, is still hanging over her head.
