August 10th, Amsterdam. Hundreds of people gathered around the Dam square in Amsterdam to show their solidarity with those who have been forced to flee their own countries. The demonstration was organized by The ‘Seebrücke / Seabridge’ an international movement supported by several civil society alliances and people. From German and European policymakers, they demand the establishment of safe routes for refugees, to stop the criminalization of sea rescue and to receive them in a humane way whilst respecting their rights.
