the convey left from HANOVER at about 10 am and arrived infront of the lager in Halberstadt at aboust 1.10pm.
The convoy was welcomed by a crowd of about 70 refugees from the lager.
The gates of the lager were not guarded by policemen,but the was a police van at about 50 m away from the main entrance The were only two police men near this van.After a few minutes of discussion with the refugees of the lager ,the demonstrating crowd took advantage of the fact that the side gate was not closed and walk smartly into the lager.
There are three sections the deportation centre,the reception centre and the family house or “the asylheim
AS soon as the crowd got into the lager,in less than no time ,the number of police vans multiplied and many police men fill the place to provock the demonstrators as usual.The demonstrators succeeded to go round the buildings singing protest songs calling for the closure of the lagerThe police gradually pushed the demonstrators out of the lager.
one of the inhabitants of the lager declared that he renews his stay on a daily basis and that this is the situation for everybody,the longest stay is one week.Tthey receive neither money nor gut schein nor are they allowed to do any social work in the camp.They only get clothings from the church or from the red cross and quite often are very old ones.cooked food is provided to them in the lager and the meals are always thesame principally rice day in day out the year round.If they have to go to the town they only have to do it on foot,for they have no money.

At about 1:45PM the convoy moved for the city centre of Halberstadt, accompanied by about 50 refugees from the camp.
A very powerful demonstratiion match was made round the city accompanied by speeches .with all the speakers calling to a stop all inhuman treatments in the camps the closure of this camps and the recognition of asylum right in GERMANY.Particularly,the convoy made a stop at the AUSLANDERBEHÖRDER with precise messages sent to Otto schilly through the police and the behörder to stop racism.To reconsider his position about the lager in North Africa for that is a racist act.This lager will not exist and the existing lagers in Germany should be closed This was the position of the refugees from Brandenburg.calling on the people of halberatadt to stand up and fight against this racist and inhuman situation of the refugees in their city.For it is a curse to their city.ON the part of the refugees from halberstadt,they were very motivated that people have been mobilised nation wide to fight for their freedom.They are convinced that freedom is only ceased so they are deteermind to continue the fight.
At about 9:30 pm the convoy accompanied the refugees back into the lager ,and a hand full of them decided to continue with the convoy to the next stations.
