This is to prevent refugees from integration, to isolate them from the world around them. This law punishes a lot of refugees who do not know which way to follow. This is the case with the political refugee Kodjo D'Almelda of the Intiative « TOGO ACTION PLUS ».
Actually, Kodjo has been many times a victim of this racist law. He travelled many times without permission because it would have meant that he pays 10 Euro each time he asked for permission :for 1, 2, 3 days or 1 week. In the region of Sachsen Anhalt (Halle Saalkreis), it is an obligation to pay 10 Euro, if not you are refused permission.
He has been controlled 6 times. The first time he had to pay 65 Euro to the alien office, the second time 65 Euro and the third time also 65 Euro. The fourth time he was summoned to court and was threatened with imprisonment if he failed to appear in court on the day of the court process.
Kodjo presented himself in court and was fined 300 Euro, to pay in instalments and this was very heavy for him. The fifth time it was the same scenery of 300 Euro, where he had to accept to pay in instalments. He had a lawyer in Halle who was not politically oriented or engaged.
Recently Kodjo got married and finnaly got a lawyer who is politically oriented and engaged.
The sixth time Kodjo travelled without permission, he was controlled and was summoned again to court. This time, the new lawyer protested against the horrendous letter of the court. To this, the court of Halle made a date for a hearing which is scheduled for:
the 18th of August 08 in Halle Saale (Amtsgericht) at 11 O'clock.
Due to the fusion of districts in Sachsen Anhalt, the responsible Post of the alien office (Halle Saalkreis) is in Merseburg. Merseburg is responsible for the administrative issues. This is the address:

We are once again counting on you to shout loud against this racist law.
To go to Halle Saale on the 18.08.08 from Berlin, we thought of meeting early at 6:10 a.m in front of the DB Reisezentrum in Alexenderplatz. We then leave with the train to Halle at 6:48 from Alex via Dessau and we arrive in Halle Saale at 9:45. We will hold a rally in front of the court and at 11 O'clock we will observe the process in court and also give Kodjo our support and solidarity.
After the process, we are going to return to our different destinations.
Thank you very much.
