[FR] GRÈVE DE LA FAIM JUSQU'À LA MORT POUR LA DÉFENSE DE LA VIE Lettre à la société, à ma famille, à mes amis Je m’appelle Suzon Doppagne. Je suis résidente et membre de la communauté squattée de Prosfygika, et aujourd’hui, 1er mai, j’entame une grève de la faim jusqu’à la mort, pour défendre la vie. J’ai décidé de me joindre à mon camarade Aristotelis Chantzis, qui en est aujourd’hui à son 86e jour de grève de la faim. J’ai choisi ce jour de lutte en l’honneur des martyrs de Chicago de 1886 et des 200 combattants de Kaisariani. L’État grec et toutes ses institutions n’ont pas répondu à nos revendications. Ils ont choisi le silence et ont laissé Aristotelis Chatzis s’engager sur le chemin de la mort. Désormais, ils porteront également la responsabilité de ma propre mort. Aujourd’hui, après 86 jours de grève de la faim, personne ne peut prétendre ne pas être au courant. La communauté squattée de Prosfygika est un exemple vivant qu’un autre mode de vie est possible -en rupture avec le système capitaliste et patriarcal dominant. En cette période de crise mondiale et de guerre mondiale, la seule façon pour nos sociétés de survivre et de créer un paradigme différent est de construire le monde de la communauté, de l’auto-organisation et de la solidarité. C’est pourquoi Prosfygika est attaquée. Au fil de toutes ces années, la communauté a su répondre tant aux besoins sociaux de la population qu’à la répression à laquelle elle a été confrontée. C’est ainsi que notre force collective et nos liens se sont forgés. Je partage ces mots en tant que membre de la structure des femmes de Prosfygika, avec le sens des responsabilités et l’engagement qui m’incombent en tant que membre de cette structure : « Cette camaraderie qui se construit façonne tout un système de valeurs et d’attitudes, qui s’exprime en tout, de la façon dont on parle à son voisin à la manière dont on se tient dans la rue, en refusant de laisser quiconque derrière. En substance, ces liens constituent notre force collective — l’outil de notre autodéfense. » Je m’engage dans cette grève de la faim jusqu’à la mort sur la base de notre décision collective, en tant que Communauté, de mener ce combat jusqu’au bout. Dans le respect de la vie, et pour la défense de la communauté, de ses structures, de ses membres, de ses relations, de la justice et de notre projet social plus large. Mon régime alimentaire comprend : De l’eau, du thé, 10 à 25 grammes de sucre par jour, 1,5 cuillère à café de sel par jour, des vitamines B1, B6, B12, du magnésium et du potassium. Les revendications de cette grève de la faim sont les suivantes : • L'ANNULATION IMMÉDIATE DU CONTRAT PAR LA RÉGION DE L'ATTIQUE • QUE TOUS LES HABITANTS DE PROSFYGIKA PUISSENT RESTER DANS LEURS FOYERS, À L'ENDROIT ET DANS LE QUARTIER OÙ ILS VIVENT ET OÙ ILS ONT TISSÉ DES LIENS SOCIAUX, CULTURELS ET COMMUNAUTAIRES. • DES GARANTIES CONCRÈTES POUR LA RESTAURATION DE PROSFYGIKA PAR L'ASSOCIATION CIVILE À BUT NON LUCRATIF « RÉSIDENTS ET AMIS DE PROSFYGIKA, AVENUE ALEXANDRAS N.P.C.C. » AVEC SES PROPRES RESSOURCES ! – PAS UN SEUL EURO D'ARGENT PUBLIC POUR LE « RÉAMÉNAGEMENT » DE PROSFYGIKA !

Greek Pushback Gone Terribly Wrong — Again Last Thursday, October 16, a boat carrying 26 people was closing in on the Greek island of Farmakonisi when it was stopped by a vessel from the Greek Coast Guard. Everyone was taken onboard the Coast Guard vessel. Officers reassured them that they would be brought to the camp on Leros. Relieved, the group complied with every instruction. Everything was calm — until three men carrying guns, their faces covered by black masks, appeared on deck. They fired into the air and shouted. Everyone was ordered to sit down, place their hands behind their heads, and look down. Those who didn’t react immediately were struck with rifle butts. Seeing the violence, nobody dared to resist. The masked men stripped them of their belongings. One by one they were searched and ordered, at gunpoint, to hand over their phones. In broad daylight, the Greek Coast Guard vessel began moving toward Turkey. A life raft was inflated on deck — and everyone knew what was coming next. One by one they were forced to jump into the raft. Those who hesitated were pushed. Some landed inside; others fell into the sea. The raft didn’t fully inflate. People shouted that something was wrong, but the officers above ignored them and left them helplessly adrift in the middle of the sea. Soon after the vessel departed, the raft began to sink — there was a hole. It was built for a maximum of 16 people, but carried 26. It was heavily overloaded and dangerously close to going under. To reduce weight, several young men jumped into the sea and clung to the ropes outside. It slowed the sinking, but only slightly. They had no phones, no way to call for help — the masked men had stolen everything. They had been left to die. Panic spread. Many couldn’t swim; those who could had no chance of reaching land or staying afloat for hours. Then, against all odds, a Turkish Coast Guard vessel spotted them. Everyone was rescued. This time, no one drowned. If this had happened at night, in worse weather, or if they hadn’t been found in time, many — if not all — would have perished. This group was extremely lucky. Others have not been. Hundreds of people have drowned following Greek pushbacks or failed pushback attempts. Not once have these cases been independently investigated. No one has ever been held to account. These state-sanctioned killings in the Aegean Sea will continue as long as there is no accountability. People will keep drowning — it’s not a question of if, but when, and how many. Aegean Boat Report is a small organisation with extremely limited resources. Still, we do everything we can to shed light on this dark chapter of European history — while most remain silent and look the other way. ⸻ Aegean Boat Report is an independent, non-profit organisation. We receive no government funding — our ability to continue depends entirely on people like you. If we go silent, a piece of history will be lost forever. 💙 To support our work: 👉 Donate via WhyDonate 👉 Donate via PayPal Thank you for standing with us. Aegean Boat Report

On the 3rd anniversary of Barış Büyüksu’s death, his family renewed their call for justice. He allegedly died after torture during a pushback by Greek officers. The family accuses both Greek and Turkish authorities of indifference. The case is already before the ECHR. Our 2024 piece with @alohamoira 👇🏿 aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/…
Barış Büyüksu, 22 Ekim 2022 de Yunanistanın Kos Adasında Yunan Kolluk Görevlileri tarafından işkence edilerek öldürüldü. İddia değil, görgü tanıkları ve otopsi raporuyla belgelenmiş. Adalet Mücadelesinde Vatandaşı olduğu devlet tarafından diplomatik bir krize dönüşmesi gereken dosya sümenaltı edilmeye çalışıldı, vatandaşı olduğu ülke Barışın hakkını savunamadı, Savunmak istemedi. Çünkü Barış onlardan birinin çocuğu yada yakını degildi. Bizden biriydi bizdi. Adalet mücadelesinin 3.yılında Barışın dosyası AIHM(Avrupa Insan Hakları Mahkemesinde)... @gergerliogluof @sevdakaraca @lesboslegal @chdgenelm @GokbelCagdas @filizgazi @hacerfoggo @Hibai_ @soreldagistanli @ismailsaymaz @ihdgenelmerkez @cengizerdinc @bernaozgulchp @barispehlivan @brnslagca @irfanaktans @degirmencirfan @oencuuueonure1 @eczozgurozel @ahmetkabais @isar_egemen @vedatyeler_ @gtahincioglu
