**Demonstration: Freedom for Ahmed, Freedom for Röszke11**

published on January 8, 2018 by Ahmed Solidarity Group 

**Ahmed’s case will be retried on 8th, 10th and 12th of January.**

**On the 10th join us to protest outside the EU House in Nicosia**

About the case:

Ahmed, legal resident of Cyprus, was arrested at the Röszke/Horgos crossing of the Hungary-Serbia borders, during his attempt to help his parents come to Europe. He was arrested with 10 others known as the Röszke11, during protests that sparked when the Hungarian authorities shut the border and made any crossing a criminal offence. Then he was accused of orchestrating a terrorist attack, and after one year of imprisonment, on 30th of November 2016, he was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment in high security prisons. All requests for visits were rejected or ignored by the authorities. His unsubstantiated and unacceptable conviction and imprisonment are a part of the wider European system of fences, prisons and borders aiming to criminalize free movement and solidarity in the struggles of migrants.

On the 15th of June 2017 in Szeged, Hungary, Ahmed H. had his second instance trial which referred the case back to the first instance court to reconsider the terrorism charges due to “lack of reasoning and interpretation”. The first rounds ot the reconsideration took place on 30/10 and 2/11, and the next trials are planned for the 8th, 10th and 12th of January.

Let’s not allow Ahmed to become a symbol of any strict policy of the European Union. We stand in solidarity in his struggle for freedom.

**FREEDOM FOR AHMED,**

**FREEDOM FOR THE RÖSZKE11,**

**FREEDOM FOR ALL INCARCERATED MIGRANTS,**

**FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS**
