The 14. Dalai Lama

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for trying to find a diplomatic solution despite 50 years of oppression of his people by the Chinese. In the 2000. Theme evening Arte takes on his life.

In 1991, Hans Robert Eisenhauer in Strabburg at Arte had the task to put a whole TV evening of 3 1/2 hours under one topic – and that also up to three times a week. Completely crazy in the age of the MTV generation, where films that show the same shot for more than half a second were considered old-fashioned, dull and boring, and where three hours might be allowed for "The Lord of the Rings," but not for documentaries?

“You have to treat the escapeons with all respect as human beings”

A conversation with Frederico Barroela, the head of the Buros of the "Arzte without Borders" in Tangier, about the situation of the escape in Morocco

For two years, the aid organization has been working without boundaries in various regions of Morocco with lively with immigrants from countries of the Sahara. In addition to the Central Buro in the capital of Rabat, projects in Nador, near the Spanish enclave Melilla, in Oujda on the Algerian border and finally entertained in Tangier. Recently, the organization published a report on violence and immigration, which provided for rough attention. A major part of the medical treatments of immigrants was caused by violence, committed by the Moroccan (52%) and Spanish Police (15%). A conversation with Frederico Barroela, the head of the Buros of the "Arzte without limits" in Tangier.

Last weekend they were in the south of Morocco to check the living conditions of immigrants, which are interned in a militar bases.

Frederico Barroela: Three days we have waited in vain before the Kasernentor. It’s just unbelievable, we did not get access to the approximately 1.500 escape strings that were in buses for three days. We only wanted to check the health status and accommodation. We are known as a professional organization, have been checking for these people for two years and have a right to see them. But objective observers do not want the authorities. Morocco probably has enough after all the negative reports of inhuman treatment and violence against immigrants.

Frederico Barroela: That can be well possible, but in the end they only make everything worse. Where did the immigrants come from in this internment camp?

Frederico Barroela: These were immigrants, which Spain deported to Morocco Backup and then all who had arrested Morocco in the last weeks at the border and around Ceuta and Melilla. There was a kind of collecting transport, which one intermediate in the militar bases. What does the immigrants do there?

Frederico Barroela: They were flown out in the home standards. What could not be so easy because you have to find out all the nationalities.

Frederico Barroela: Needed are FUF or six different nationalities. But there were diplomatic representatives of the affected countries and assorted their nationality. Then it obviously went by aircraft to Mali, Nigeria, Senegal or Guinea. Anyway, people were continuously brought away in buses. I suppose the embassy representatives are necessary because many immigrants like to lose their passe to avoid being reduced.

Frederico Barroela: Do you know, we do not ask for the pass. We treat our patients and it has it. We offer the immigrants from the countries sahara medical care as they have no access to the Moroccan healthcare system as illegal. The rest is no matter us. There are so many escape in the room tangier that a treatment center is required here?

Frederico Barroela: It was possible between 1.000 and 1.500 people. That fluctuates and is seasonal. In summer it is more than in winter, where the sea is stormy and only very, very few boats the crossing to Spain car. But last year it became more and more. Through the stronger controls on both sides, it is increasingly difficult to overcome the strait. The immigrants are fixed and become more and more. The numbers also depart from the police raids, how many arrested and deported to Oujda and how many when they are back to Tangier. Working "Arzte without limits" also on the Algerian side? There is now also camps with around 3,000 immigrants, which, unmolested by the Moroccan police, wait for the situation to calm down.

Frederico Barroela: No, so far we did not work on Algerian side. The problems were made out of Morocco. In medical practice you can usually make first aid. What do you do with harder traps?

Frederico Barroela: The patients we can not treat, we bring in Moroccan hospitals. Succeeds without problems? Moroccans often have very gross difficulties without getting the appropriate treatment.

Frederico Barroela: First, this is a matter of medical ethics. Every doctor must treat a patient who is wounded. In addition, we deliver the drugs and the material.
