Eritrean refugees fled indefinite conscription, forced labour, imprisonment & torture. Now, Germany brands their resistance as 'terrorism'? This is injustice in action. Protest is not terrorism. @Bundeskanzler Cerstin Gammelin GermanForeignOffice Deutschland.de #Germany Filippo Grandi

Germany’s classification of Eritrean protesters as ‘terrorists’ risks legitimising a dictatorship & silencing refugees. We must protect the right to dissent. Protest is not terrorism! @Bundeskanzler Cerstin Gammelin GermanForeignOffice Deutschland.de #Germany Filippo Grandi
