WAS VOR UNSEREN AUGEN PASSIERT:
Tausende Menschen aus dem Irak, Syrien und Afghanistan sind seit dem Sommer vermehrt nach Belarus geflüchtet. Die belarusische Regierung lockte sie mit falschen Versprechungen und einer Einreise in die EU.
In Belarus angekommen und auf der Flucht vor grausamen Kriegen und humanitären Krisen in ihrer Heimat, werden sie gewaltsam über die Grenzen in die EU gedrängt. Der erklärte Ausnahmezustand in Polen und Litauen erlaubt es, dass Flüchtende mit Gewalt vor der Einreise abgehalten werden.
Diese Menschen, die auf ein besseres Leben hoffen, sind seit Monaten im Wald gefangen zwischen Militärtruppen, die sie menschenunwürdig über die Grenzen hin und her werfen.
Die Temperaturen erreichen mittlerweile -10 Grad im Winter, es ist nass und kalt. Die Flüchtenden haben keinerlei Zugang zu Nahrung, Wasser, Sanitäranlagen im Wald. Es wird regelmäßig von Menschen berichtet, die durch Gewalt, Hunger und Unterkühlung sterben. Unter ihnen Familien, Schwangere und Babys. Die EU schaut weg und überlässt diese Menschen sich selbst.
WAS WIR TUN KÖNNEN:
Wir von Projekt 009 möchten in dieser Situation humanitäre Hilfe ermöglichen und Berichterstattung betreiben.
Wir stehen mit Aktivisten und Grassroots-Gruppen aus Litauen und Polen in Kontakt, die die Menschen mit dem Nötigsten versorgen und sich um Verletzte kümmern. Wir wollen hier für sie (Sach-)Spenden sammeln und diese persönlich in beide Länder liefern und den Freiwilligen dort unter die Arme greifen.
Die hier verwendeten Bilder stammen von einem jungen Mann aus dem Nordirak, der selbst 28 Tage in diesem Wald gefangen war, bevor er nach Deutschland floh. Er machte diese Bilder in dieser Zeit dort und ließ sie uns zukommen, um von den Missständen zu berichten und damit das Geschehene nicht in Vergessenheit gerät. Denn auf dem Weg nach Polen wollen wir uns mit ihm treffen, sodass er uns über seine Erfahrungen erzählen kann und wir seine Geschichte veröffentlichen. In Polen und Litauen selbst werden wir ebenfalls ungefiltert Bericht erstatten und dokumentieren, was den Menschen dort angetan wird, damit diese Menschenrechtsverletzungen nicht untergehen. So etwas darf nicht tot geschwiegen und Verantwortung muss übernommen werden, deswegen wollen wir im Projekt 009 Solidarität zeigen!
Um all dies zu ermöglichen, brauchen wir deine Unterstützung!

WHAT IS HAPPENING BEFORE OUR EYES:
Thousands of people from Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan have increasingly fled to Belarus since the summer. The Belarusian government lured them with false promises and entry into the EU.
Once in Belarus and fleeing cruel wars and humanitarian crises in their home countries, they were forcibly pushed across the borders into the EU. But the declared state of emergency in Poland and Lithuania makes it legal to refugees are violently pushed back from the border.
These people, hoping for a better life, have been trapped in the woods for months between military troops who are tossing them back and forth across borders in the most inhumane manner possible.
Temperatures now reach -10 degrees C in winter, it is wet and cold. These displaced people have no access to food, water, sanitation in the forest. There are regular reports of people dying from violence, hunger and hypothermia. Among them are families, pregnant women and babies. The EU looks the other way and leaves these people to fend for themselves...
WHAT WE CAN DO:
We at Project 009 want to facilitate humanitarian aid and reporting in this situation. We are in contact with activists and grassroots groups from Lithuania and Poland that are providing these people with basic necessities and taking care of all injured. We want to collect (in-kind) donations from Berlin for these groups and deliver them personally to both countries and assist the volunteers there.
The pictures used here were taken by a young man from northern Iraq, who himself was trapped in this forest for 28 days before he fled to Germany. He took these pictures during his time there and sent them to us to report about the grievances so that they will not be forgotten. On our way to Poland we want to go meet him, so that he can tell us about his experiences and we can publish his story. In Poland and Lithuania, we will also report without filter and document what is done to the people there, so that these human rights violations will not be left unseen. Responsibility must be taken, which is why we want to show solidarity through Project 009!
