SUMMARY:Madrid Protest: Stop the Italy-Libya Memorandum of Understanding
DESCRIPTION:Note: The Madrid protest will take the form of a sit-in in front of the Italian Embassy (Calle de Lagasca\, 98). \n“Refugees in Libya started their protests over 300 days ago in October 2021 – still the conditions for refugees in Libya remain the same. They are exposed to structural violence\, arbitrary detention in inhumane conditions\, torture\, enslavement and murder. People are still drowning in the Mediterranean daily or being pulled back by both the so-called Libyan coast guard (LYCG) and the newly established Stability Support Apparatus (SSA). The European Union (EU) is contributing to these atrocities daily by funding and training the so-called LYCG and supporting structures\, which are holding the current system in place. \nStill\, the echo of the protest of Refugees in Libya is ignored in the European public discourse.\nSince 2017\, when the Italy-Libya Memorandum of Understanding was signed\, enough evidence\, reports\, statements have revealed the strong links between the so-called LYCG\, Libyan migration authorities (DCIM)\, militias and smugglers. Enough reports denounced the crimes committed against refugees and migrants in Libya. The United Nations (UN) and International Criminal Court (ICC) are even denouncing crimes against humanity committed in the detention centers\, which are sustained by the Memorandum. \nOn November 2\, 2022 the Italy-Libya Memorandum is to be renewed – it is the backdoor of the cooperation of the EU with the militia-led Libyan coast guard\, the hellish detention system\, and the silent tragedies of thousands of invisible deaths in the Sahara at the southern border.\n❌ STOP Italy-Libya Memorandum! \nIn Solidarity with Refugees in Libya\, we want to take to the streets all over Europe to stop this memorandum\, on Saturday October 15\, in front of the Italian embassies of our cities. \nAll actors involved in this Memorandum have to put an end to this criminal agreement:\n– Italy has to cancel the renewal of the Memorandum.\n– EU must stop financing activities in line with the Memorandum with hundreds of millions of Euros.\n– Frontex\, who’s cooperating with the so-called LYCG in line with the Memorandum\, has to be abolished.\n– United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and International Organisation for Migration (IOM) must immediately start fulfilling their duty to protect refugees in Libya and stop providing a front for\nthe EU and Italy to claim their actions are motivated by humanitarian aims. \nBy sustaining the Italy-Libya Memorandum\, Italy\, EU\, the so-called LYCG\, Frontex\, UNHCR and IOM become accomplices of slavery\, trafficking of human beings and crimes against humanity.\n– Stop the Italy-Libya Memorandum!\n– Stop pullback of refugees and migrants to Libya\, stop cooperation with so-called LYCG!\n– Free all refugees and migrants\, close the detention centers!\n– Evacuation to safe countries for all refugees and migrants in Libya! \nJOIN OUR ACTIONS ON OCTOBER 15 IN FRONT OF ITALIAN EMBASSIES IN BERLIN\, BRUSSELS\, MADRID OR ORGANIZE ACTION IN YOUR CITY ✊”

SUMMARY:Brussels Protest: Stop the Italy-Libya Memorandum of Understanding
DESCRIPTION:“🔸 FRANÇAIS 🔸\n15/10 Stop à l’accord Italie-Libye\, une honte pour toute l’UE \nRejoignez-nous pour une action contre le renouvellement de l’accord qui\, depuis 2017\, permet à l’Union européenne de déléguer au gouvernement de Libye la “protection des frontières européennes”\, en alimentant le chaos dans un pays où les autorités\, les milices et les trafiquants emprisonnent\, torturent\, violent\, expulsent et tuent des milliers de personnes chaque année. Signé par le gouvernement italien\, cet accord reflète les priorités de l’UE tout entière\, qui finance et forme les garde-côtes et les milices en Libye afin qu’ils deviennent ses gendarmes\, avec le soutien de l’agence européenne Frontex et l’aval humanitaire de l’Agence des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés (HCR) et de l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM). \nDepuis octobre 2021\, les réfugié.e.s bloqué.e.s en Libye protestent quotidiennement contre cette coopération et l’enfer auquel elle les condamne. Si rien ne change avant le 2 novembre 2022\, le Mémorandum Italie-Libye sera automatiquement renouvelé jusqu’en 2025. En solidarité avec ces femmes et ces hommes\, le 15 octobre manifestons nous aussi contre tous les responsables et les acteurs de cette coopération. \n📍Programme:\n15h00: rendez-vous au rond-point Schuman pour dénoncer l’implication de l’UE\, de Frontex\, du HCR et de l’OIM dans cet accord honteux\n15h30: marche\n16h00: rassemblement devant l’ambassade d’Italie (rue Joseph II 22-24)\, prises de parole\, témoignages \n📢 L’appel complet: https://fr.abolishfrontex.org/blog/2022/09/09/15-10-22-stop-italie-libye-memorandum/\nLe site du mouvement Refugees in Libya: https://www.refugeesinlibya.org/\nContact: AbolishFrontexBelgium@riseup.net \n🔸ENGLISH 🔸\n15/10 Stop the Italy-Libya agreement\, it’s a shame for the whole European Union \nJoin us for an action against the renewal of the agreement that\, since 2017\, allows the European Union to delegate to the government of Libya the “protection of European borders”\, fueling chaos in a country where the authorities\, militias and traffickers imprison\, torture\, rape\, deport and kill thousands of people every year. Signed by the Italian government\, the agreement reflects the priorities of the entire EU\, which is funding and training coast guards and militias in Libya to become its police\, with the support of the European agency Frontex and the humanitarian endorsement of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). \nSince October 2021\, refugees stranded in Libya have been protesting daily against this cooperation and the hell it condemns them to. If nothing changes before November 2\, 2022\, the Italy-Libya Memorandum will be automatically renewed until 2025. In solidarity with these women and men\, on October 15 let’s also demonstrate against all those responsible and involved in this cooperation. \n📍Program:\n15:00: meeting at the Schuman traffic circle to denounce the involvement of the EU\, Frontex\, UNHCR and IOM in this shameful agreement\n15:30: march\n16h00: gathering in front of the Italian embassy (rue Joseph II 22-24)\, speeches\, testimonies \n📢 The full appeal: https://abolishfrontex.org/blog/2022/09/07/call-out-organise-to-stop-the-italy-libya-memorandum/\nThe website of the Refugees in Libya movement: https://www.refugeesinlibya.org/\nContact: AbolishFrontexBelgium@riseup.net \n🔸 NEDERLANDS 🔸\n15/10 Stop de overeenkomst tussen Italië en Libië\, een schande voor de hele EU \nDoe mee aan een actie tegen de verlenging van de overeenkomst die de Europese Unie sinds 2017 toestaat de “bescherming van de Europese grenzen” te delegeren aan de regering van Libië\, waardoor de chaos wordt aangewakkerd in een land waar autoriteiten\, milities en smokkelaars jaarlijks duizenden mensen opsluiten\, martelen\, verkrachten\, deporteren en vermoorden. De door de Italiaanse regering ondertekende overeenkomst weerspiegelt de prioriteiten van de EU als geheel\, die kustwachters en milities in Libië financiert en opleidt tot haar gendarmes\, met de steun van het Europese agentschap Frontex en de humanitaire steun van het vluchtelingenagentschap van de Verenigde Naties (UNHCR) en de Internationale Organisatie voor Migratie (IOM). \nSinds oktober 2021 protesteren de in Libië gestrande vluchtelingen dagelijks tegen deze samenwerking en de hel waartoe deze hen veroordeelt. Als er vóór 2 november 2022 niets verandert\, wordt het memorandum Italië-Libië automatisch verlengd tot 2025. Laten we in solidariteit met deze vrouwen en mannen op 15 oktober ook protesteren tegen alle verantwoordelijken en betrokkenen bij deze samenwerking. \n📍Programma:\n15.00 uur: bijeenkomst op de Schuman-rotonde om de betrokkenheid van de EU\, Frontex\, UNHCR en IOM bij deze schandelijke overeenkomst aan de kaak te stellen.\n15.30: mars\n16u00: bijeenkomst voor de Italiaanse ambassade (Jozef II-straat 22-24)\, toespraken\, getuigenissen \n📢 Het volledige beroep (engels): https://abolishfrontex.org/blog/2022/09/07/call-out-organise-to-stop-the-italy-libya-memorandum/\nDe website van de beweging Vluchtelingen in Libië: https://www.refugeesinlibya.org/\nContact: AbolishFrontexBelgium@riseup.net”
