Seebrüecke demands new ban on deportations to Iran in Germany

Seebrüecke International has demanded for a new ban on deportations to Iran in Germany.

Seebrüecke is an international organization that wants safe passages and an end to criminalisation of civil sea rescue.

In tweet on its official handle Seebrüecke_intl the organization wrote: “The Exactly two years ago, the Kurdish woman Jîna Amînî died in a hospital in Tehran. Three days earlier, the 22-year-old had been violently arrested by the so-called Iranian morality police because she was not wearing her headscarf “properly”.

“While in custody, she was inflicted with horrific injuries that left her in a coma, where she eventually died.”

Her death, Seebrüecke International said triggered huge waves of protest in Iran, in which women in particular are still rebelling against the Mullah regime and striving for a feminist revolution.

According to the human rights organisation Hengaw, there were strikes in at least 10 cities yesterday in memory of Jîna, despite increased repressive measures by the regime.

Among other things, they protest against the oppression of women and queers in the name of Islam and in favour of a fairer society.

“In Jîna’s home town of Saqqez in particular, a large contingent of government forces was deployed to prevent gatherings. Jîna’s family was also prevented from visiting her grave, and her parents have even been under house arrest since yesterday.”

Meanwhile, solidarity in Germany with the courageous people in Iran continues to ebb away.

While two years ago politicians were still adorning themselves with the Kurdish freedom slogan of the “Jin Jiyan Azadî” movement, the ban on deportations to Iran has been allowed to expire at the end of 2023 by the conference of interior ministers.

“We stand in solidarity with the courageous people in Iran and the diaspora who continue to protest despite all the repression. We demand a new ban on deportations to Iran in Germany!,”Seebrüecke International said.
