A message from Dashty Jamal to refugees and freedom loving people.

Racism is a shameful phenomenon alien to the contemporary world and British society!

A message from Dashty Jamal to refugees and freedom loving people.

Due to the right-wing riots and attacks against foreigners and immigrants that have been happening in several northern British cities and Belfast for over a week, there have been many horrifying incidents, including the burning of shops and mosques, attacks on hotels, hostels, and refugee shelters, as well as vandalism and breaking windows of homes, leaving people without safe place in our country just because of their ethnicity or skin colour.

These racist acts of violence against non-English people and immigrants are the direct result of the propaganda of right-wing and racist groups aimed at undermining and reversing all the achievements of the British working class and civilized people. They are trying to divide the people of this society based on their nationality and their geographical background. We must not allow British tolerance and civilisation to descend into fanaticism and discrimination، which is a central aspect of this racism programme.

These violence and racist actions against non-English people and refugees are the direct result of the propaganda of right-wing groups that aim to attack and reverse all the achievements of the British working class and civilized people. They sow the seeds of division and hostility among the people of this society and divided them based on nationality, skin colour and geographical background. We must not allow Britain’s tolerant and civilized society to be led into tension and discrimination, which is a key cornerstone of the racist’s programme.

The riots followed an attack by a teenager at a children’s dance school in Southport that killed and injured several children. This crime against humanity is reprehensible and a shocking to everyone’s conscience. We offer our deepest condolences to the families of these children and wish the rest a speedy recovery. We join them in this tragic tragedy. 

Unfortunately, right-wing groups and mindless racism have hijacked this situation and are using it to spread hate, animosity towards other cultures, and anti-foreign sentiment to blame refugees for the crime, political and housing crisis, unemployment, and high prices that has gripped society rather than blame it on the company owners and capitalists. 

Refugees are forced to flee and become refugees in a situation where they pay the price of the struggle between the imperialist blocs to redistribute the spheres of influence and the markets of goods and capital.  Refugees are the victims of the global goal and strategy that the world’s great powers have once again made war and displacement part of the societies of those refugees who have been deprived of the right to a peaceful and secure life toreshape the world and to reshape the economic and political forms of the capitalist world.

We as the International Federation of Refugees call on refugees, freedom loving people, anti-racists, anti-fascists and humanitarian organisations to unite and speak out against racism and discrimination that is incompatible with both human nature and civilised society. Let us not respond to violence with violence and let’s unite as a humanitarian front against racism and fascism. The police and security agencies have responsibility to protect our safety and lives against any violation of our lives. We must all be equal before the law. Let us work together to ensure a future free from violence, injustice, inequality. Everyone in Britain deserves to live in freedom, peace, and safety.
