Hello,
Most of you will have probably seen this already on social media but there has been a call this week for a week of solidarity with Abtin Parsa.
The anarchist Abtin is a former political prisoner from Iran and has there been prosecuted, tortured and arrested. Eventually they fled to Greece.
Unfortunately the same happened in Greece which caused Abtin to request political asylum in the Netherlands in March 2020.
In April 2021, Abtin was arested for “inciting resistance against the Dutch state”. More info about this on: https://www.indymedia.nl/node/49617
Because of this arrest Abtin could land in prison for 5 years.
On the 8th of July, the Dutch state denied the request to stop his extradition to Greece and therefore has decided to extradite them to Greece.
If Abtin is delivered to Greece then there is the threat of them being delivered to Iran which could lead to their imprisonment, torture or even murder.
More info about this as written by Abtin themselves: https://asranarshism.com/1400/04/17/bourgeois-justice-wants-to-extradite-me-anyway/
We have to prevent this!
We have to safe Abtin’s life and prevent them from getting into the hands of their oppressors!
Solidarity in this case is life saving!
Spring into action, alone or together with us!
If you have any ideas or if you want to help us then you can mail us!
Remember: No Borders, No nations, stop deportations!
With solidarity greetings,
