Selection for the refugees in the 18 Norwegian cities – the Newspaper.en

In 18 Norwegian cities served thousands of demonstrators light and torches in protest against the government’s asylum and flyktningpolitikk.

In Oslo marched between 3000 and 4000 people up Karl Johan street and gathered in front of the Parliament. It was far more than the organizers in advance had dared to hope for.

– We object to all innstrammingene that has happened in the last year. Our claim is that Norway will take its share of responsibility for the people on the flight, ” says bishop emeritus Tor Berger Jørgensen, who has been a member of the organizing committee, to the NTB.

In all, 40 organizations, political parties, and ungdomspartier have lined up behind the check box “Thousand lights for the people on the flight”.

at the same time reached the crisis in Aleppo in Syria, a new sad bunnpunkt Wednesday, which was marked with a minute’s silence in front of the Parliament.

– While the bombs are falling over Aleppo, and while the boats sinking in the Mediterranean sea, is the Norwegian government’s goal that the fewest possible of the survivors to come here. And of them that are come, to as many people as possible will be sent out again. There is a deep defeat for the English humanism if this is left as Norway’s contribution in this crisis, believes the organizers.
