The attacks from Kristin Halvorsen
During the press conference at the Ministry of labour and social inclusion monday afternoon, Kristin Halvorsen, the Minister of Finance, criticised SOS Rasisme and other voulenteers that helped the hunger striking. - They take a very large responsibility, said Halvorsen.
We who work on the spot, work with giving them dignity and support in their own decisions. We work with helping the Afghans to meet basal human requirements, like supply of clean water, sanitary supplies, shelter from weather and people, safety during the night and other practical tasks.
The volunteers that supports the hunger striking Afghans have never urged for a hunger strike, and they do not call on the Afghans to continue the hunger strike. This is the Afghan refugees case, and they consider the situation and a possible ending of the hunger strike themselves.
We also refer to SOS Rasisme’s statement regarding this case.
