Clock 18, Interior Ministry, Minoritenplatz, Vienna ASYLUM IS HUMAN RIGHTS
Therefore: no to this law! Resignation of Fekter - now!
Fekter Interior Minister has presented an amendment to the Asylum and Migration Law, bring untold suffering to many innocent people will.
innocent refugees will come right at the start of the procedure in detention. At the very first decision that identifies them in another EU country, such as Greece or Poland, no matter how unspeakably bad the local asylum conditions.
thousands are behind bars. Among them desperate and traumatized people, the torture and death are escaped. Their only "fault": they seek shelter in Austria. Detention means imprisonment without trial, without offense. Fekter is unable and unwilling to guarantee human rights in Austria. The conditions of detention are not human rights compliant, the Council of Europe € she called "totally unacceptable ".
The appeal period in such an operation is reduced to one week (previously two). Who leaves the assigned area (usually Traiskirchen) and travels to Vienna, for example, to search for a lawyer, is immediately arrested. People behind bars but are certainly not a lawyer. So deportation without appeal - short process!
also "continuing claims" should be abolished. What stories are behind this word?
A recognized refugee marries a woman whose asylum claim is rejected, she becomes pregnant and makes a new asylum application. The child may remain, it is given as his father asylum. Only the mother must away when it comes to Fekter. Without their child!
"subsequent applications" could make it now, when you are in Austria in demonstrations against the regime in the country took part (such as Iranians against Ahmadinejad's election fraud!). Also wants to prevent Fekter. For exile protesters said in future deportation - possibly to death.
Just as any worsening of the foreign law to date, this bill will only strengthen the rightist parties. Reasons to call Fekter resignation, but there is much more:
First, the Chechen refugee Umar I murdered on a street in Vienna, his application for protection of persons had Fekter authorities refused.
policemen beat the U.S. teacher Mike B. in Vienna hospital.
policemen shot dead in the summer 14 year-old child.
And now died after six weeks on hunger strike, the young Indians Gaganpreet Singh K. detention under the eyes of the police ...
It is time that it is different. This amendment shall not be adopted. Fekter have to go. All existing alien law package is deleted and replaced by a modern, replacing bound by fundamental rights of asylum and immigration law. Human rights must re-apply in this country!
