Call for public trial observation of Salomon Wantchoucou
On Monday, 3rd of June 2013
Verwaltungsgericht Halle , Sitzungssaal 1.063, Thüringer
Straße 16, 06112 Halle (Saale)
Meeting Point: Verwaltungsgericht Halle 14:00 Uhr
Prozessbeginn 14.00 Uhr
Background:
Mr. Salomon Wantchoucou would appear at the Administrative
Court against the Wittenberg local government for depriving
him of his legal resident permit . The Local government had
taken the decision to deny the legal resident permit because
Mr. Salomon Wantchoucou had not cooperated with the
authorities.
Bases of the Legal Proceeding:
Mr. Salomon Wantchoucou had given his best to identify
himself. From the beginning he gave correct information about
who he is and where he came from (Cotonou Rep of Benin) but
the District Officials has refused to accept his true
identity.
The Claim of non-cooperation by the district authority is
only a strategy to deny him his right and to persecute him for
his role in exposing the living situation of refugees in the
local government.
Mr. salomon Wantchoucou is a member of The Voice refugee
Forum, The Caravan for the right of refugees and migrants and
a founding member of "Flüchtlingsinitiative Wittenberg" now
called "Flüchtlingsbewegung Sachsen anhalt" and has since the
past four years brought the abuses of the local government
towards refugees to public awareness.
Mr. Salomon Wantchoucou fled Benin Republic based on an
assassination attempt on him as a criticizer of the corrupt
government of President Mathieu Kerekou and has been political
active as well in Germany. Based on his critics against bad
government and the bad living situation of refugees, he has
always been faced with various forms of threat and
intimidation from the local government. Also from Cotonou,
Benin
Mr. salomon Wantchoucou had all along cooperated with the
District to identify himself by the invitation to the Benin
republic deportation hearing in Berlin as well as to the
Nigerian Embassy. He had equally presented his Birth
Registration Certificate from Cotonou, Benin to the
responsible authorities of Wittenberg.
We hereby demand Justice and the Right to Stay for Mr.
Salomon Wantchoucou
Activists and Friends are invited to observe this hearing.
We call out for public trial observation and solidarity.
11 years in repression is now enough!
