And if the refugee has done everything on the list and still cannot leave, then a decision should be made and motivated that this person is still here and can not leave because of circumstances beyond his control. The burden of proof is now on the State Secretary, not the refugee. The day started with a bike tour through Rotterdam, to reach the detention center. Contact Us Leiden Huurrecht Advocaat Email: [email protected] Phone: +31715690727 kanaalpark 140 Leiden, Zuid Holland, NL 2321 JV This building was squatted for some time already and we are happy the squatters provided us with this place. We have been living in the Vluchtflat before, but that place is now getting to crowded. The Mayor repsonds that if private institutions help people who are illegal, it is OK with him, but that it will be hard to get help form Salvation Army, HVO Querido and the Diaconie.We need a permanent place to start a normal life. Therefore we go to the Court with a proposal to sit around the table with all parties concerned to find a way out. We will be active the coming days in the streets and online to protest against this deportation. Please come and join us and show solidarity. We came to work together with the neighborhood and create a nice place for us to live but also for the people who are already here. I believe that with last Saturday’s open day we achieved this cooperation.There we showed solidarity with the people inside who are locked up, only because they don’t have papers. All refugees that joined have seen the detention centers from the inside – it was an emotional protest. https://www.patreon.com/c/LeidenHuurrechtAdvocaat that thet understand the proposal, but that they do not agree. The Mayor repsonds that if the refugees understand the proposal, he does not understand their letter. For him, the review of VWN is a matter of having proof or not having proof for the asylum procedure; hope for proof is not enough, and the Mayor has provided enough time to get the evidence to complete the file.The circle or chain of asylum law falls under the Ministry of Justice system, not the public administration system. On paper, Holland has created a perfect system in which refugees are covered from beginning to end whether they get asylum or not. If they are refused, they have to leave the country within 28 days. If they can’t leave, they go to VBL’s – locations where they may stay for a maximum of 12 weeks before they leave the country. Ironically enough We Are Here is treated in the article as one of many institutions providing undocumented persons shelter. We Are Here is a protest group that for almost five years already brings up the holes in the present systems (both the national asylum system as well as local shelter-structures).We have no place to go yet.We call you to come to the flat to show solidarity, to help with transport, to demonstrate that we are still here, and that we are need a life.. WE ARE HERE organizes a cultural festival with speeches, stories, music, performance, dance, food and drinks and exposition of photo’s , art, film , etc. This will give moral support and positive energy to all refugees-on-the-street and show our gratitude to all people who helped us in the last four years.
