Refugees” deportation

Nowadays, more and more human rights have been violated daily. Refugees lost every right they had. The situation in their countries does not allow them to live. They fight for their own lives with no result. Thoughts of better living conditions push them to Aegean Sea in boats without return. If they manage to pass through the sea, they will continue to face difficulties. Abandoned, they wait for someone to help them but the only thing appropriate authorities do, is to imprison them in a refugee center. Losing again all the rights, they wait for better days to come.

Personally, I firmly believe that freedom is the most important right everyone has. History teaches us that people without both freedom of life and freedom of speech are miserable. We have to fight for our freedoms when someone violate them.

 

The treatment of refugees and asylum seekers in Turkey has also been condemned by numerous international human rights organizations, despite the efforts of the Turkish authorities to host thousands of refugees since the beginning of the troubles in Syria in 2011 and to implement a new asylum system. These organizations have reported, in particular, a massive deportation of refugees to the north of Syria, an area described as a “humanitarian nightmare”, where civil populations are exposed to a serious and imminent risk of violations of their human rights.

The signatories issue a strong reminder that the European Union “is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law” as stated by the Preamble of the EU Charter for Fundamental Rights and Article 2 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The signatories strongly condemn all violation of human rights of those seeking asylum in the European Union. On no account does the protection of the EU’s external borders exempt EU Member States from their obligations under European law, including the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights or the Geneva Convention on Refugees (1951), which all prohibit putting into jeopardy the right to life and which support the right not to receive inhumane or degrading treatment; the principle of non-refoulement of asylum seekers; and the right to asylum and international protection for all displaced persons.
