Textausschnitt aus dem Film:

 

Schubhaftgefängnis Wien
Gefangener:
We all know African governments. There is no democracy in Africa. All of us know that. So you have problems there, you come here, they will try to catch you, the system is so, that they will try to catch you and but them in prison.

Gefangener:
I come here because of the problem I have in my country. And the problem is not finished. Is not yet finished. I will like to be deported. And nobody will like to be deported, when the problem is not over.

Gefangener:
Actually we practise democracy in Africa and I am sure you reed papers or you watch TV, maybe CNN. You know what is happening in Africa. We have democracy in Africa, but this is not really working.

Gefangener:
We are here in the name of saving ourselfe, because we have problems in our home and that is why we left our country. If we don’t have the problem, we should have not been here.

Gefangener:
There is no place like home. If I tell this situation is in Africa, you people are living here, no African will come here.

Gefangener:
Yeah, I think it makes sense for me, to save my life. From the enemies.

Gefangener:
Your parents have died, or you have no families there, how can you stay there? You can’t stay there. They come and catch your family, they kill some of them, some of them are in prison, when you go there, they catch you and put you in prison, you don’t know when you will be released, or what will happen in future.

Gefangener:
When you deport people you should as well maybe try to get in contact with those people you have deported and see if they are living. Because some of them die instantly, they push some of them in prison, and that’s the end of it, they kill you little by little.

Gefangener:
You people can go to our government and ask them: Mister so so has problems there? They will say: No. They will say no, he doesn’t has problems there, so that you people can deport him back. And when you arrive at the airport, they catch you, and hank off you and put you in prison. And you people, you don’t know nothing about it.

Mohamed:
Tu connais le devoir de memoire?
Le devoir de memoire … c’est … accepter avec les responsabile … de quelque chose
De faire quelque chose preface … Le male, ce c’on a fait … Allora la France a une devoir de verité vis á vis les peuples africaines.
Gefangener:
For going to two months now I have been here. Locked up into this place, 24 hours. Even to come out her to make a call is a problem. Some of these things, make someone go mental, so, insanity does not start a day, somebody can develop a brainproblem here.

Gefangener:
Sometimes, when you are locked into a place, this way, sometime you be nervous, number one you be aggressive. Sometimes you do what you don’t feel to do, but you don’t know when you do it, because you have never done something, to put into a place. We are the same. We are illegal. Most of us, no, all of us, we are illegal.

Gefangener:
I am not the only one who has the problem. There are some other ones, they have different problems. But if possible they can make it, to live like them as a human being. I would be happy and appreciated.

Josef Böck:

Gefangener:
They gave me the Asyl and also took it from me within two weeks. And put me in Schubhaft. In prison, this is prison.

Gefangener:
The last day I went to the court, the judge faced my case in accoté. She told me to go home and never to come back again. Because of the situation of the case. They brought me in first district, where everybody used to come. They said, I am not allowed to be there.

Josef Böck:
If it is not clear, that you are in danger, so you have to go home. And this is a very great problem. You say something, what happened, but it is not easy, or it is not always possible to prove here, what happened in Gambia, what happened in Nigeria.

Josef Böck:
In der momentanen Situation ist es wahrscheinlich … gibt es keine andere Lösung als eben die Gesetze zu vollziehen und die Jungs abzuschieben. Das ist vom menschlichen Leid her, sehr schwer. Was ich als Mensch machen will, und das ist auch das Problem, das wir auch haben, und auch die Polizisten, die Abschiebungen machen, das sagen sie mir immer wieder, das ist ja auch das Problem, dass ich etwas machen muss, etwas vollstrecken muss, wo ich selbst als Mensch denke: eigentlich innerlich will ich es gar nicht.
