Center Avnstrup: The prison with invisible fence

from Working together across privilege · host The bridge radio

In the agreement with the leftwing parties last summer, the new government in Denmark promised to get the children out of Sjælsmark. All families have during the summer holidays been moved to Center Avnstrup in the woods outside of Roskilde. Though the center has no fences or military exercises in the area - a new set of rules are applied for the adults living with their families in these corridors. You have to check in with the staff two times a day. In the morning and in the afternoon. Making it nearly impossible for adults to manage to go into town to visit friends and families because the center is located in a remoted area. If they do not check in it can be seen as a criminal offence. This center can very easily incriminate a large group of refugees only for not checking in electronically two times a day. The rules are meant to keep people in the center and are limiting their freedom of movement severely.
