Protest Against Detention in Postojna
In August 2020, several anti-racist groups organized a protest in front of the Center for foreigners in Veliki Otok near Postojna. The protest was in support of the people on hunger strike detained in the center. The detained migrant women, some of which were asylum seekers, opposed the detention and illegalization, and spoke about the inadequate living conditions. They requested treatment according to international protection standards. One of the slogans shouted by the participants at the protest was: “Freedom for all.” This slogan goes beyond the legal framework and calls for an anti-racist and anti-colonial Europe.
