  • Episode 64: Pingpong pushbacks at the Poland-Belarus border

    Episode 64: Pingpong pushbacks at the Poland-Belarus border
    2024/11/15
    In this episode we speak with Ola, an activist from the Grupa Granica coalition in Poland about the situation for refugees, migrants and people-on-the-move at the country's border with Belarus. She tells us how border guards on both sides are mistreating people-on-the-move there, about the ping-pong pushbacks across the border, and how the country's Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, plans to "temporarily" ban the human right to claim asylum. Ola also tells us about Grupa Granica's work supporting people-on-the-move with food, clothes and first aid, and how the authorities have treated the activists. ---Get in touch--- Twitter: @FleetCivil Mastodon: @civilfleet@kolektiva.social Bluesky: @thecivilfleet.bsky.social Instagram: thecivilfleet info@civilfleet.com civilfleet.com Support: ko-fi.com/civilfleet ---Show Notes--- For more on Grupa Granica, see their Facebook page here: facebook.com/grupagranica See their Instagram account here: instagram.com/grupagranica For more on the Belarus border, see episode 33 with Dalia, an activist from the Lithuanian human rights and medical aid organisation, Sienos Grupe.

  • Episode 63: ‘You feel like the most wanted criminal in the world’

    Episode 63: ‘You feel like the most wanted criminal in the world’
    2024/10/04

    In this episode, we speak with Denny, a young refugee from Kashmir who was forced to flee his homeland almost 9 years ago.

    He is going to tell us about life in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, his journey through Europe, how he was mistreated by the authorities and supported by activists.

    We also talk about his time living in a squat in Bosnia, and how looking after a dog helped his mental state.

  • Epsode 62: The UK's mistreatment of Albanian asylum seekers and victims of human trafficking

    Epsode 62: The UK's mistreatment of Albanian asylum seekers and victims of human trafficking
    2024/09/20

    In this episode, we speak with Lauren Starkey, a campaigner and independent social worker who works with Albanian victims of human trafficking.

    Lauren is going to tell us how the British government decided that Albanian men shouldn't be granted asylum in the UK, even if they are victims of human trafficking.

    She tells us how this approach punishes victims of human trafficking, forces them to live in destitution, and threatens to send them back to an environment they were trafficked from.

    And we also have an addendum at the end of the episode, in which we talk about Labour's reported plans to end asylum seekers to Albania.
