No One is Illegal!? My Visit in Hamburg, St.Pauli [Part1]

This topic is the first part, documenting my last weekend's trip to Hamburg, where I had the opportunity to attend a very interesting Tatoo Convention at the Millerntor Stadion, the Home for FC St.Pauli's, the soccer club "that stands for all the right things."

For today I will only post some photos ( per @esteemapp ), the coolest venue, where you find surprising quotes, logos and awesome graffiti art.

A delicate topic for Europe in 2017!

No one is illegal is a loosely connected international network of antiracist groups and religious asylum initiatives that represents non-resident immigrants who stay in a country illegally and are at risk of deportation. The network has started a campaign and held rallies to bring wider attention to the situation of refugees. The campaign initially began in Germany as No Person Is Illegal (German: Kein Mensch ist illegal or kmii) and has spread to other countries, including Canada. ( Text by Wikipedia)

IMAGINE!

Imagine, All The People......

I have to admit that I am not a soccer fanatic and didn't know how famous and hip this club actually is until my niece nearly freaked out when she heard I was visiting St.Pauli.

I had to bring her a "hip" sweater and ended up buying a big bag full with goodies, lighters, T-shirts and even underwear, with the famous scull print on it. I usually don't like to buy souvenirs but those are damn cool.

I wanted to know more about the history, the background and the meaning of those quotes.

"No soccer for Fascists!"

History ( text by Wikipedia)

No Person Is Illegal was founded in 1997 at the "documenta X" art exhibition in Kassel. After a few weeks, thousands of individuals joined as well as the 200 groups and organisations that had joined them in appealing to "help immigrants begin and continue their journeys towards obtaining work and documentation, medical care, education and training, and to assure accommodation and physical survival" regardless of their immigration status. The founding followed the death of deportee Aamir Ageeb at the hands of the German Federal Police. In the wake of Ageeb's death, the "Deportation-Class" campaign set its aims towards airlines that took part in deportations. The campaign culminated in a 2001 online demonstration in conjunction with Libertad. No Person Is Illegal and "Deportation-Class" have drawn the attention of Germany's annual "Constitutional Protection Report" due to purported connections with "left-wing extremism".
