[Alarm Phone]
A SERIES of commemorative protests, or “CommemorActions,” were held across the world this weekend in remembrance of those who have died, gone missing or forcibly disappeared on their journeys across borders.
Activists joined friends and families of the dead and missing in cities across Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Cameroon, Niger, Togo, Malta, Mexico, Britain and elsewhere.
In the Tunisian capital Tunis on Saturday, mothers and sisters held up pictures of their relatives who died or went missing in the Mediterranean.
A society that grows accustomed to ‘undesirable’ people also grows accustomed to undesirable deaths. Minneapolis serves as a wake-up call, including for our own refugee policies, writes MARC VANDEPITTE
Olive oil remains a vital foundation of food, agriculture and society, storing power in the bonds of solidarity. Though Palestinians are under attack, they continue to press forward write ROX MIDDLETON, LIAM SHAW and MIRIAM GAUNTLETT
