Blockade Frontex deportation Iraqis in Sweden 24-25/05
All Inlcuded - 26.05.2011 10:40

Last night (the night between tuesday the 24th and wednesday the 25th of
may) the swedish state once again forcibly deported Iraqi refugees with
a chartered FRONTEX flight. Iraqis weere transported from the
deportation center in Flen (south-west of Stockholm) and from the
deportation center located in the northern parts of Stockholm.


About a 100 people stemming from the broad network Aktion Mot
Deportation (Action Against Deportation) gathered during the evening
outside the deportation center in Märsta (Stockholm). Barricades were
erected outside each of the five exits the large police force could use
to move the Iraqis to the nearby airport. Activists using lock-ons
completely blocked the back exit as cars were parked and human chains
formed to block the other ways.

The police used heavy force to break through the barricades. Armed with
riot gear against people passively resisting to move, people got hit
with batons and punches to the head. A group of police trainees were
instructed on site by their officers on how to bend arms and neck on
activists to make them move as a 'training exercise'. The police also
smashed the windows of a parked car with people still in it and
continued to beat the driver through the now-gone windshield.

Despite all this the blockade held for three hours. Another blockade
took part some hours later at the airport trying the stop the buss
arriving from another deportation center (Flen) but it was unsuccesful.

Swedens is one of very few members of the EU who deport refugees to
Iraq, since the state's Migration Department has - in stark contrast to
UN, UNHCR and Amnesty International - deemed Iraq as safe for return.
Mass deportations of migrants has since 2008 rapidly increased since the
border police started with chartered flights to increase the rate of
deportations. There is not enough deportation centers in Sweden to hold
the amount of people without papers; which is why deportations in Sweden
has increased with 30 % this year and will continue to rise as the
border police and the budget for administrating deportations is getting
more resources on their hands. 2011 saw a raise in the allocated cost
for mass deportations from about 350 000 euros to 2,5 million euros.
