Feeling oddly sentimental seeing my poem written in and about #Palestine and #Israel at the @whyborders’s exhibition in #Berlin tonight. I scribbled those lines inside a paperback on a bus somewhere between Ramallah and Tel Aviv, crossing a wall where there shouldn’t be one!
Sad news 🙁: todays talk is cancelled
Good news 🤗: you can come anyway between 5:30 and 10 pm to @ZukunftOstkreuz and walk through the exhibition yourself & on Thursday @ahampay and @RefugeesFuture will be there for your questions!
On Tuesday 7 pm we will host the vernissage of the @whyborders exhibition @ZukunftOstkreuz. Photographer, activist and ?WHY|BORDERS initiator @ahampay will open the evening with an introduction to the works of the participating artists.

#ArashHampay is going under trial, for talking about inhuman situation of refugees in Greece and greek camps and acting against it.

Solidarität aus #Frankfurt mit @ahampay, Geflüchteter & solidarischer Aktivist aus dem #Iran, der morgen in #Griechenland vor Gericht steht, weil er fälschlicherweise der Gewalt gegen Polizei bei Protesten für die Rechte von Asylsuchenden auf #Lesbos beschuldigt wird. =>
<= Mit @ourhouseeu unterstützte er in #Athens viele #RefugeesGR, die Europa systematisch im Stich lässt, zog so den Hass von rassistischen, faschistischen Gruppen auf sich, befeuert durch übelste Beleidigungen eines ND-Politikers, damals Regierungspartei.

Tomorrow my last trial will be held in Greece, Let's see what the Greek judicial system will decide about me despite the hostility of the Greek government to me and other activists.
