10-15 Afghan asylum seekers at Trandum
Even though the war in Afghanistan is increasing, even though we are marching the pilgrimage route from Trondheim to Oslo, to inform the people about this war and our needs for protection, the hunt performed by the Norwegian police after Afghan asylum seekers is continuing.
Last week eight Afghan asylum seekers was deported. Currently there are between 10 and 15 Afghans in the asylum prison at Trandum at Gardermoen (Oslo Airport). Several of these participated in the hunger strike in 2006. According to the plan they will be deported this week.
We ask those of you who still care about human values and believe in the right to live, to try to rescue these people from being sent back to a wartorn country.
