Refugees are on the ballot as never before. Two days before the parliamentary election we gather to demand respect for the right to asylum with the following slogans:
- Against inhumane refugee policies - not against the refugees!
- Stop the criminalisation of refugees!
- Give refugee children a safe future in Norway!
There will be an appeal relay with 25 quick appeals for a humane asylum policy, and Kohinoor will launch a new song dedicated to refugees.
