From Contra Info:
Since May 1st, 2013 more than a hundred
prisoners in migrant detention centers throughout the Netherlands have
gone on hunger and thirst strike. Some have already been broken by
intimidation and isolation, but some, such as Nessar,
who is on hunger and thirst strike in Rotterdam, are still on strike at
the time of writing (the 13th of May). Since he is a spokesperson for
the strikers, he was placed in isolation a few days ago. They are waking
him up every hour, refusing to allow independent doctors visits, and
since his kidneys are failing, he was brought yesterday, against his
will, to the penitentiary hospital.

| Solidarity with the migrants in hunger strike |
These strikes have only become known due to the solidarity demo’s
that took place in several migrant prisons on the 5th of May. The recent
hunger strikes deserve our full solidarity, as a desperate call for
dignity and freedom. In the Netherlands thousands of people are locked
up simply for being ‘illegal’. The ones who decide to take these
‘measures’, the ones who make laws to which everyone must bend, are the
ones profiting from control and repression.
