Today about 30 hungerstrikers from the group of the Refugees without Resetllment brought their protest into the City Centre of Tunis. At noon they started a sit-in in front of the Kasbah, where the Tunisian government sits. A letter with the demands was given to the prime ministry of Tunisia. An answer is expected in the next days. The protesters were holding up dozens of banners in different languages, stating their demands. Leaflets in English and Arabic were being handed out to the passersby. And many interviews were given to national and international journalists.

Also today, there have been protests in solidarity with the Choucha Refugees in front of the UNHCR in Rabat/Morocco, in Paris/France and in Berlin/Germany. Thereports from there will be posted, as soon as they reach us.
