Her name is Hind, she decided to go on a hunger strike 21 days ago, she has a little son called Khalid, who is always crying for his mother, asking when she is coming back home, her husband Bassam is really wishing she’ll overcome this difficult time… More people are interested in the cause now but I still feel it’s too little, too late!

None of the officials in the Norwegian Immigration department bothered themselves to ask him what that she wants, why she is doing this to herself and her family, what happened!

I always had this feeling, being a refugee or an asylum seeker in Norway is insignificant, one is only a number with minimum human rights. The worth of the refugees to the current heartless Norwegian system is a big fat ZERO, now I know for a fact it’s true, It’s not because UDI (Norwegian Immigration Department) don’t keep statistics about those who die in the asylum receptions…Not because the last “«barn på flukt” law was a big PR stunt… Also Not because around Christmas last year the state secretary told the rejected asylum seekers it’s ok for them to starve if the money given by the state is not enough, after he was informed that few asylum seekers are fainting of hunger, and he added if they don’t like it they can always leave…

No, not all of the above, but it’s their reaction to a case like Hind’s, a young 31 mother, came to Norway with her child and husband, why she would do this to herself, unless she is so desperate, the way they are dealing with the problem after 21 days of hunger striking is really bothering me!

The Norwegian government is throwing away fundamental values of the society such as solidarity, compassion, empathy, etc…They don’t realize the disaster they are doing to their own country and even if they did, I don’t think they really care!
They are indeed destroying the term solidarity and all its pretty meanings and turning it into another empty word they use when it’s convenient, when they want to brag about fake things that don’t exist practically anymore.

Thank you Norway, Hind today on her 21st day of hunger strike, her blood pressure is 80 over 45 according to her husband…It’s not normal to be left to die, just because someone feel their rules and laws are flawless and should be applied no matter what… Flash-news guys, rules are made to serve us not the other way around!

By the way, Hind, me and others are worth it, even if UDI and UNE don’t believe that , Why? because every human on this planet worth living, and every refugee worth become a citizen of an existing state. Hind today fights for her right and her family’s right, but not only this, she also fights for me, my family and the 61% rejected stateless people during the year 2011!
She is indeed my (S)Hero!
