In recognition of World Refugee day, The Guardian, in collaboration with artist Banu Cennetoğlu, Chisenhale Gallery and Liverpool Biennial, is distributing the full UNITED ‘List of Deaths’ in its print and online edition.
Since 1993, UNITED for Intercultural Action has recorded the reported names, origins and causes of death for more than 34,000 refugees and migrants who have died whilst trying to get into Europe due to the restrictive policies of “Fortress Europe”. We reproduce the list below because refugees and migrants are not words but above all human beings: their first name, surname and the circumstances of their death never cease to remind us.

Berlinale 2016 – Quote of the Day #8: Thomas Vinterberg

18 février 2016 Malik Berkati 0 min read crisis, Denmark, quote, refugees, Thomas Vinterberg

I’ve made this film about sharing and courtesy between human beings. Beside the intention to seize asylum seekers’ assets, I come from a country where my government had printed ads in Iranian newspapers saying « you can’t be a refugee by us ». That’s so shameful and I am ashamed of that. Those behaviors are not human. But I also know that behind that, there is a good-hearted people, which is slightly confused, frightened and is acting according to the fear instead of their normal generosity. So I think there is hope and that it’s not irreversible. But it’s embarrassing. Our face to the world is embarrassing.
