'ON MONDAY, D. FROM SOUTH SUDAN WILL STAND TRIAL AND FACE 25 YEARS IN PRISON FOR "SMUGGLING"

Next Monday, 5th of October, D. will stand trial in Chania, Crete. He is a young boy from South Sudan.

He has been arrested in January 2026 near the coast of Crete and charged with "smuggling" after being forced to drive the boat from Libya to Greece, on his way to seek asylum.

He has already been in pre-trial detention for 9 months awaiting for his trial. Now, with this accusations, he could face 25 years in prison.

D.'S STORY:

"The war in Sudan broke out and my father was killed. After that I left for Libya, I lost contact with my mother and siblings. In Libya I was alone, I was 15. There was no work and nothing to eat. My eyes would swell for days and I couldn't see properly. People would kidnap me and ask for money. The last time they took me, I had no money: so they made me drive the boat. Now l am in prison. My siblings have no one to feed them and my mom cant manage alone. The war in Sudan is still going on."

Like so many others, D. has been charged with "facilitating the unauthorized entry" of the other people on the boat - simply because he took on a task during the journey.

This charge is systematically used to criminalize people on the move. On almost every boat, at least one person is arrested. Every year, countless people are imprisoned - punished simply for arriving, and for helping others along the way.

D. is a young person with a future ahead of him - stripped of his freedom by a system that criminalizes survival.

Thanks to your support, we were able to hire a lawyer for him, ensuring he has proper defense at Monday's trial.

SHARE HIS STORY,
DEMAND HIS RELEASE!
FREE D., FREE THEM ALL!'

I am a #whistleBlower against #AccentureFederalServices and the US Department of Veterans Affairs. I had voted #democrat until that point.

Then, I was brutalized by police and jailed, 4 times by the #Biden regime, and once by the #Trump regime ( extrajudicially incarcerated, without trial, or due process ).

All charges were dropped, as I fought in court. They never had any reason to arrest me. It was an attempt at whistleblower intimidation.

I have been #homeless since 2023 , except for a few months.

If you had told me that both sides were the same, in 2022, I would have laughed. Now, I believe it.

Healthcare was complicated and expensive.
People wanted Universal Healthcare.
So Obama sold us #ObamaCare
Now, #healthcare is complicated, expensive, AND mandatory.
More money for “the healthcare industry”.

After the market crash of 2008, where many Americans lost their retirement savings, it was #Obama who stopped the investigation into the #corruption behind the crash.

Trump is not much better than Obama.

Yes, both sides are the same, and they both work for the rich.

I am now in #Japan , seeking political asylum, and have been homeless for a while, and without medical care. I have had to go hungry for days at a time, a few times, as every NPO aimed at helping refugees, has denied me help.

With all due respect, #Takaichi san’s #government is violating the UN convention on #refugees by denying me basic protections and #HumanRights

📆 13.05
solidarity evening against Bezahlkarte
📍 Café Cralle, Wedding

We reject the payment card as an instrument of repression against refugees. Instead of cash or direct transfers to bank accounts, those affected are forced to use the payment card and cannot freely access or control their own money.

We are pushing back by organizing solidarity exchange points.
We’ll be happy to explain exactly how this works at the info stand on site, where you’ll also have the opportunity to get vouchers directly. The voucher value is usually €50, so please bring enough cash.
And if you like raccoons, feel free to bring a bit more money for a t-shirt 😉.

With solidarity drinks and vegan spring rolls, you can get to know the Wedding local group and find out how you can support “No to the payment card.”
Or just join us in a toast to Café Cralle becoming a regular pickup point for vouchers from now on.

For solidarity instead of the payment card!

Antisozial - Diskriminierend - Repressiv!

Gegen die Bezahlkarte - für eine solidarische und freie Gesellschaft!

‚Die sogenannte "SocialCard" ist ein diskriminierendes Instrument, das Menschen in ihrer Selbstbestimmung und Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben einschränkt. Jeder Mensch sollte das Recht haben, selbst zu entscheiden, wofür er sein Geld ausgibt. Staatliche Kontrolle und Überwachung sind Teil von Funktionsweise und Zweck der Bezahlkarte.
(…)
Es ist damit zu rechnen, dass die Einführung der Bezahlkarte für Bürgergeldempfänger*innen zu weiterem Sozialhilfeabbau und der Normalisierung staatlicher Kontrolle über Menschen, die ohnehin schon von Behörden gegängelt werden, führen wird….‘
