INTERNATIONAL ANARCHIST MOVEMENT-GREECE:
LESVOS09 NO BORDERS CAMP:
The following announcement came to Molly's attention via the Anarchist Black Cat discussion board. See the end of this post for the original sources. The Greek island of Lesvos/Lesbos has been the site of previous anarchist inspired 'No Borders' camps as participants from across Europe and beyond come together to struggle for the anarchist ideal of a free and open world with no restrictions on movement. The 'Frontex' (from the French Frontières extérieures) referred to below is the EU agency in charge of external border security. It became operational on October 3, 2005.@@@@@@@@@@

Friday 28/08: Detention Centres The issues of the criminalisation of migration, of the detention, isolation and of the (denial) of migrant rights will be the main topics of discussion this day. In the evening a mobilisation will take place at the Pagani detention centre, ending up at the city of Mytilene.
Saturday 29/08: Frontex, Port-police, Border status Central topics of discussion here will be the policing of the borders (border police, port-police) as well as the constantly increasing activity of Frontex at the European borders.

Sunday 30/08: Work, precarity, migration The main aim of this day is to link up the issue of migration with that of work and migration, while issues of nationality, class, gender and religious identity will also be discussed.
