Ayla and Emma run the Hackney Half for the #Samos2

On 22 May we’ll be taking on the challenge of running the Hackney Half Marathon to support the #Samos2! Please support us by reading about the trial of the #Samos2, sign the petition below and contribute to the legal fees of the #Samos2 if you can. 

On the Greek islands, the politics of criminalisation and deterrence of refugees is escalating: in an unprecedented move, 25 years old N. is charged with the drowning of his 6-year-old son during a shipwreck. He will be on trial together with his co-passenger Hasan, 23 years old, who is facing life imprisonment for steering the boat – a common practice at Europe's external borders. They will stand trial on 18 of May 2022 in Samos, Greece. Your donation will help to cover the legal fees for this trial.

'To accuse a father mourning the loss of his son instead of blaming the murderous system of wars, borders and pushbacks that actually committed the crime, shows once again how brutally rotten the EU really is.' - Aegean Boat Report

Thank you for your support.
