Studenten van University of Colour confronteren KLM-er met medeplichtigheid deportaties (video)
Students from the University of Colour intervened in a talk given by a KLM representative, confronting him and the audience with the mass deportations of refugees that KLM has been carrying out. The students did a “mic-check” and read out stories of individual refugees being deported from the Netherlands back to countries that are deemed unsafe for Dutch citizens. These refugees are then simply left to die there. KLM states that they are only carrying out the task of transportation. They refuse to be held accountable for their inhumane actions and accept money from the Dutch state to carry out deportations. We demand KLM to immediately stop being complicit in deportations. We do not accept companies like these to be represented in any university. The intervention will be followed up by a lecture to help shine more light on the inhumane practice of deportations.
University of Colour in Student Intervention at AUC: KLM complicit in mass deportations (Youtube)
Goed bezig, mensen van de University of Colour!
Prima actie! Iedere keer als de KLM aangesproken wordt op het feit dat ze maar al te bereidwillig meewerken aan deportaties, verschuilen ze zich achter het argument dat ‘ze dat opgedragen wordt’ en dat ze alleen maar overheidsbeleid uitvoeren. Onzin: er wordt ze niets opgedragen, maar er worden deals afgesproken, waarbij KLM apparatuur en trainingen ‘cadeau’ krijgt ter beloning van hun medewerking. Om nog maar niet te spreken van de twee rijen vliegtuigstoelen die bij iedere deportatie geboekt worden.
