Our friend Noureddin Mohamed died in suspicious circ umstances in the centre of Calais in the early hours of Saturday mornin g (7 July 2012). Noureddin was 28 years old\, originally from North Dar fur\, Sudan. He was well known and loved in Calais\, and leaves many gr ieving friends. He died just some 200 metres from the government office where he had recently been granted leave to remain in France as a refu gee.

\n

Noureddin's friends believe that he may have been killed in a racist
attack\, and possibly with police involvement. Police ha d harassed Noureddin and a group of other Sudanese refugees shortly bef ore his death. (Police harassment of migrants is a common occurrence in Calais). But\, pushing a story that Noureddin was involved in a theft\ , the authorities have ruled the death an accident\, and refused to inv estigate further or to conduct an autopsy. Noureddin's uncle and his la wyer have now filed an official demand that a murder inquiry be opened.

\n

Without pressure\, the French authorities will get away with co vering up
the truth behind Noureddin's death. That would make Nour eddin the third refugee to die in Calais in suspicious circumstances\, and without proper investigation\, in the last 7 months. So long as the se deaths go unanswered\, it is open season on migrants in Calais\, as racists and fascists think they can attack with impunity. Just as it is in the Mediterranean\, and on all Europe's borders\, where people are dying in their hundreds.

\n

Noureddin's family and friends in Cala is have called on supporters
everywhere to join them in demanding justice for Noureddin. There have been protests on the streets of Calai s every morning this week\, mainly involving people without papers who can risk a lot by demonstrating. Darfuris and other supporters have als o gone from Paris and Belgium to join the protests\, and are planning d emonstrations in other cities.

\n

We stand with Noureddin's family and friends in Calais in their call for
justice for Noureddin. We stand with the Darfuri exile community in London\, who will present a l etter to the French ambassador supporting Noureddin's uncle's demand fo r an inquiry. And we stand with all those at risk at the borders of Eur ope and the world. No more border killings.

\n

Please bring banners \, and drums and musical instruments. Please remember that we want peop le from different backgrounds to feel welcome at this demo. Please circ ulate this as widely as possible and encourage people to come. But if y ou can't make it\, keep in the loop. There will be more to come. Can we turn our sorrow and anger into the beginning of a movement against the invisible deaths on Europe's borders?
