Increasingly branded as extremists who then face the full force of the law. Thats only a cone on found out at 1st hand what it means to get on the wrong side of the system when her son was taken into detention now and italia and other mothers who founded a Campaign Group to take up the battle against what they see as arbitrary injustice and monstrous sentences. That conan is a fighter as she had towards the courthouse in northern moscow with her son daniel her determination is palpable a strip of polka dot cloth is the symbol of her Movement Mothers against Political Prisoners several individual protesters stand in solidarity for the accused outside the court house they say this is a show trial. Igor list news and Maxine Martin soft have been accused of kicking a Police Officer at a protest last summer both men insist they are innocent but the Court Rejects their appeal and sentences them to several years in a prison camp the judgment hits their families hard that talia is there to support them her son was also put in prison after the moscow protests but daniel was lucky after just a month in pretrial custody most charges against him were dropped and he was released but not a sense of injustice hasnt gone away. Its strange. Today it should be the judge the state prosecutor the government to feel guilty. But instead its us who feel guilty. The boys who were released and the parents because our children are free. There have been several mothers marches in moscow already including this one in february of last year now the protests have grown into a movement. Down with the police state they chant here. When thousands protested ahead of elections to Moscow City Council last summer their demonstrations were not authorized and the Police Crackdown on opposition protesters. Government officials have responded to protests by warning of the dangers of the revolution. In particular. We all know perfectly well that it is impossible to solve our problems on social networks are on the streets. Of course people can express their opinion freely that is totally normal so people have to express their opinion within the framework of current law of course you can find those laws good or bad but you have to keep to them. Otherwise our country will end up in a very dangerous situation lets we. Used to stay away from politics but that was before her son was in prison the 48 year old animal breeder lives in the countryside but she regularly visits her 3 children in the capital since her oldest son daniel was arrested here in this apartment that talia is in touch with him all the time she gets worried after all she says that in russia anyone could become a target for the author already. Its been half a year since they searched the apartment and arrested him but it is worse now because they see how these cases always follow the same pattern you realize how powerless you are against the system. The mothers arent alone surveys conducted by an independent pollster showed that the majority of russians now believe there are Political Prisoners in their country at an event with lectures and a flea market the Human Rights Organization open russia is collecting money to provide Legal Assistance for them. Conan is here with several mothers from the movement there are over 200. 00 of them now with more joining all the time they send letters to detainees and want to fight for their children together. Even when its a game with you no one is stronger than a mother that might but when youre alone its hard to achieve anything i know that because i fought for my boys for 2 years. And when the Mothers Movement formed i realized there are a lot of people in our country with the same problems and the same feelings that he should probably and i think you should more thank you for sharing it with us the president would preclude what happened to us could happen to anyone here but by fighting for our children were fighting to protect everyone else in russia to. Dilute. The authours seem to be aware of the potential force a Mothers Movement could have though theyve tried several times natalia and her fellow activists havent so far managed to get official permission to hold another protest so for now the corn and often holds one woman pickets which dont need authorization that way she doesnt have to worry about becoming a target for the author already is herself ok lets now go to the arctic north of sweden home to the indigenous sami people once widely known as lamps who are traditionally reindeer and now the summer of one a 30 year battle to regain control over what they see isnt so strong lands the case was brought before a court in kiruna the northernmost town in sweden and the man behind it is messy bear who runs a nearby reindeer cooperative hes delighted with the ruling but not with the furious criticism that he and other sammy herders are now facing. At 1st glance its a Winter Wonderland high in swedens north so far north it was thought to be the end of the world. The ground is barren the spruce small snow covers the ground most of the year. Forest is home to the indigenous sami people and their reindeer. For the sami the forest means everything head of gary a cooperative of reindeer owners near corona is monte burke who has lived here all his life he suffers almost physically when he has to go to the city. Court cases have repeatedly forced him to go to the unloved city for 10 years he argued there represented his peoples cars before the Supreme Court at issue where the hunting and fishing rights. The verdict was unexpected the Indigenous People and not the state are to decide who is allowed to hunt and fish on their territory. Well. Everyone should be happy the judgment has shown that even a normal person can assert himself against the state. But not everyone thinks that the verdict was just after the verdict repeatedly received angry calls some swedish hunters see their hunting rights threatened. More. Hunting and fishing are the things people are passionate about up here. Many hunters are afraid that we saw me will now close the forests. You know we wont but 1st come the reindeer then the saami and then the other this. Danger is sometimes directly related to the reindeers enormous space requirements this is noticeable when we make our way through sammy land to lars. Reindeer can bring traffic to 0 even on the european route 10 the main trunk road in this area. There are approximately 300000 reindeer in sweden and only the saami are allowed to own that. Lars is busy feeding the one year old calves reindeer are very hardy animals but without an extra daily helping of masin like and they one make it through the winter the snow cover is icy the plants underneath inaccessible. You are not heads the psammead cooperative of you when he was herding reindeer into another pasture a car stopped and somebody. 20 metres away the driver shouted. You know if you let your reindeer out here well shoot them. I thought to myself these people are really aggressive. The last thing he said was if i see one of us. Alone in the forest ill shoot you too that really scared me. Repeatedly reindeer are getting shot the owners get a small compensation but an easy miss remains. If we are familiar with the race and what my father had to listen to especially near the big mines in and. Since a verdict hatred has really increased. But its not only about reindeer and their grazing grounds theres a lot more involved the samea live on land that has many important raw materials. Its still the state who has the say on who gets the mining rights. In the. Forests wind and water power timber everythings here. You had a decision fiends. A start in this state would like to exploited whole lot of other social. Ills marty berg the Wind Turbines not far from his house on an old slag heap are 1st and foremost a disturbance a piece of industry that interrupts the peace and makes the reindeer nervous. The covert fight for Mineral Resources and the sami area has only just begun. But its encouraging that now they have the law on their side. To mean. Well we go back in history now to nazi germany were jews and others who faced religious or political persecution were often stripped of their citizenship they were forced to leave the country all fled to avoid being sent to concentration camps where near certain death awaits it later though germanys new postwar constitution contained article 116 a guarantee that citizenship would be restored to victims and their descendants but stefan for his firing is one of the many who supplications have been turned down and now say its high time for germany to do more to keep its promises. Stefan foist fan was born in berlin in 1937 but has lived in the u. K. For as long as he can remember my father was austrian my mother. Was german. He was entirely cierra she was part. Stephens family fled berlin on the eve of germanys annexation of austria in march 1938. My fathers men met my mother in town somewhere and said go fetch the child bring a suitcase for me to the station tonight. To leave to live with his sister who was married to the. Chief rabbi hostile to him and the next morning so my mothers older sister told us that because daughter came the next morning for us because my father longer have that same immunity of being austrian under the nazi regime tens of thousands of jews were stripped of their german citizenship now stefan is fighting to get it back. Article 116 of the german constitution and able germans persecuted by nazis as well as the descendants to have their citizenship restored stefans application was rejected i was to my fury i have to say rejected on the grounds that my father was austria and that if he had stayed arm prickly i cant believe what im saying but this was the letter. To the point where. The having a german nationality for jews was taken away. Then i might have qualified but we would have been dead by then the complexity and number of exemptions has led to a debate in the German Parliament britain felix coachman and his wife isabelle founded a world wide lobby demanding a more inclusive law to prevent exclusions from article 116 they attended the parliaments discussion in late january the motion for a new law was narrowly rejected given that the government already issue to decrease in august 1900 to ease restrictions but some descendants are still facing bureaucratic hurdles. The decrees of discretionary. Relief are facts of life but 116 is fundamental basic rights and people pretty content where they cant get back their loved ones who they lost they cant go back in many cases their property the cant get back jobs that theyve lost but they can get back one thing and thats german citizenship younger generations are also affected marcella marxs grandfather georg fled germany for brazil in 19372 years after the nazis had imposed then youre a member grace laws she too has applied for citizenship i thought that this was. Something that we needed to do to honor my family especially because they had been in germany for so long my great grandfather fighting in a world war one her 1st application was rejected on the grounds that her grandfather left to germany voluntarily a 2nd application is still to be decided on. Stefan foist van has also applied a 2nd time the new decrease now take his mothers german nationality into consideration but his patients with german bureaucracy is wearing then. Its been a. Its been a fight in which i feel. Both engaged and ready to give up. I feel you know if if the bureaucracies serve structure. Then im not going to go on fighting like hundreds of other applicants how steffan can do for now is why. Now for decades people have been fleeing from afghanistan a country tormented by the taliban until recently they tended to seek refuge in neighboring iran but the economic crisis has prompted a growing number of afghans to try and make their way into the instant turkish province a violent however as marty saw tally himself an afghan refugee showed us in deep midwinter the journey can be treacherous or even tragic. This is turkeys Eastern Province a fan bordering iran it seen heavy snowfall in recent months almost daily afghan Asylum Seekers try legally to cross over from iran into turkey here but theyre often tragic stories rarely make the news. Were meeting much diesel tunney who managed to flee afghanistan 4 years ago and now lives in turkey today hes on a voluntary basis helping other afghans who have fled here as well he shows us a local cemetery he recently discovered. This is where many Asylum Seekers lie buried who died in their attempt to reach safety most are afghans. While we arrived there was empty and now it got all like this like 152018 people and in the cemetery was stolen by that. Ma says many afghans try crossing over into turkey in winter hoping there will be less Border Police due to the cold but the mountain route is dangerous some migrants fall down ravines or freeze to death yet marty says many are willing to take these risks to flee from violence. The situation right now in afghanistan it is really horrible and get worst the situation every day get iterated and people are just trying to leave afghanistan toward a Better Future to a better life irans capital tehran some 1000 kilometers to the southeast for decades tens of thousands of afghan refugees used to flee here. But now that u. S. Sanctions have brought the countrys economy to a standstill many migrants are finding themselves out of work. They cant make a living here anymore and are forced to head further west towards turkey. Back in turkeys van province marty and a friend are on their way to visit an afghan family thats just arrived mark this friend discovered the couple and their 3 kids by the side of the road one day last and shivering with cold. He put them up in another family cellar. My place mccool of taliban occupied our village they took everything we had my crops my farm and they wanted my daughter too. So i sold my shoes my childrens belongings and we offered afghanistan. In anybody who dont we dont even have any money to buy food god is my witness that today we borrowed 5 lira from a poor person who puts me to shame. You know. We dont know what to do. But i just warn that id rather die here than beg people for money was fake. The room where the family will spend the night has no heating its freezing cold. The wants to organize warm blankets for them as soon as possible but the family cannot ask turkish authorities for help because they might end up being deported. The people dress they arrive in the turkey actual end of one or bridge the hour without any money they can pay for their lunch for their breakfast or for their dinner so how they can not they can move probability that this is there a human Term Organization like you in the United Nation you uneasy or. In december last year the Un Refugee Agency u. N. H. C. R. Staged the 1st ever Global Refugee Forum in geneva together with the turkish government. The summit largely focused on Syrian Refugees in turkey. The e. U. Provides Financial Support to the country to help it take care of them. But there is no Financial Assistance for afghan refugees d. Up until one and a half years ago afghans could still apply for protection from the u. N. H. C. R. But since september 2800 turkey alone decides who is and isnt entitle to help. And Human Rights Organizations now accused turkish authorities of failing to support afghans in need d we asked the u. N. H. C. R. White cease supporting afghan refugees in turkey yet received no answer. Marty does not understand why the u. N. H. C. R. Has withdrawn its help he himself was afforded protection but what about all of those who arrived after september 28th and why he wonders is the e. U. Not helping. Cemetery staff begin digging a fresh grave but dont know who it is for. Iran also doesnt notify afghan authorities when one of their citizens dies abroad maybe their families still waiting in afghanistan that my son is just calling me maybe tomorrow or today but unfortunately they are sent just in here and the cemetery and the crips so while i was just so were off this i was really sad and i was just so really sad about this horrible condition that refugees have said here. This sign reads symmetry for people without relatives. To much diesel tunney this place bears testimony to the suffering of refugees in the 21st century. Truly a desperate store and it seems as if theres no hope that things will change in the near future.
