#BriennerStr 
<http://oplatz.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2725739cc5aa054f2446b0d&id=af9f4b62b0&e=f2355974c3> 
“Refugee Camp” are protesting against the camp. The protest has started 
after security started kicking a guy who wanted to take some breath for 
his sick child from the kitchen. in this camp “You are not allowed to 
take any food out of the kitchen”, even if you have a sick child.

The main demands of the protesters are:

  * *The security doesn’t have any respect for people*. They shout to
    the children and are brutal and aggressive.  Often they are violent
    to the inhabitants.
  * *The food is very bad, and sometimes also very old*. It makes the
    children sick all the time. Many people has got poisoned or lost a
    lot of weight. You can bring food from outside to the camp, but you
    can not bring the cantine food in the camp.
  * *If the children come one hour later from Kita or school, they don’t
    receive any food*. You are also not allowed to keep any food for them.
  * *You are not allowed to bring any bag in the kitchen*. they also
    don’t offer any locker to store your bags. you should just leave it
    outside in the open space. bags get often stolen.
  * *They dont offer keys and locks for the room*. every one at any time
    can enter any room. The mobiles and other items get continuously stolen.
  * *For 900 people there are just 4 shower rooms*, and you can use them
    just in some hours of day.
  * *Toilets and Showers doent get cleaned regularly*. They are often in
    bad hygienic situation.
  * *For long time there is a lot of Bed Bugs*, that bites the children.
    No real solution for it.

Until now the camp management and the politicians didn’t give any 
solution to the people. They just show a paper from Lageso that they 
will close this camp next December. Here is some stuff that has happened 
in the last days:

1- The camp management puts always pressure on people by lying or 
tricking them. They tell the police that protesters are smocking Hashish 
and drinking alcohol there.

2- 3 days ago, they announced a meeting with the camp management and the 
Lageso and protestors. The protestors decided to bring their own 
translator to make sure their words get translated correctly. The other 
side told them they can not bring an own translator and should use the 
“official” translator. When protestors still claimed a translator that 
they trust, the camp management and lageso threated them to cancel the 
meeting and said you can not have your own translator in the room. 
Finally they had to gave up their own translator.

3- “Moabit Hilft” was also in this meeting as a parter of protestors, 
but the management throw them out of the meeting.

3- The Burger Amt has offered them a little space in front of the camp 
to stay and sleep. One day they said because of a “Demo” they have to 
fence this place and they will remove the fences in 2 hours. Obviously a 
lie. They dont remove the fences any more.

4- They threat the protestors , if they continue they might get deported!

5- The politicians, camp and lageso made a meeting together to discuss 
for solutions. This time they didn’t invite at all the protestors, just 
two hours later they told the protestors about the results. The camp 
manager was very happy and said: “Thank you, because of you i have got a 
lot of new money from the city”. Hence the solutions does not solve any 
of the problems of the protestor.

6- two days ago a woman started throwing up and fainted. They had to 
take her to hospital. She fainted after the camp management started 
threatening them harshly on the street.

7- yesterday the child of the fainted woman also collapsed and has been 
brought to the hospital. he is not in a good situation right now.

The situation is very frustrating. The city politicians and the camp 
manager deny to talk to the protestors on an equal level and often 
accuse them in public for having : “Two much costs for the city” and 
“Not being thankfull”. they threaten and accuse the protestors 
continiously and want to bring them to a psychological breakdown in 
order to stop the protest.

*Who is responsible:*

What you can do is to contact these people and ask them why are they 
doing this:

d to gave up their own translator.
