Utrecht

Afghanistan is not safe at the moment. However, EU governments (including the Dutch government) are still sending Afghan refugees back to Afghanistan.We don’t agree with this. Let’s speak up and stand together at 18-02-2018.

So what’s the plan?
In as many countries and cities as possible people will protest.
This event is the local event in Utrecht. We requested a permit to march through the center. We will invite speakers to talk, there will be petitions to sign, maybe music and we will march together.

This event is organised by the Facebookgroup “Don’t send afghans back – a platform for positive action”, Amnesty International Student Group Utrecht and supported by New Neighbours Utrecht and Women’s March The Netherlands.

Why?
We will protest against the deportations to Afghanistan because Afghanistan is not safe. According to the Global Peace Index 2017 Afhanistan is after Syria the most dangerous country in the world (http://visionofhumanity.org/indexes/global-peace-index/).
