FIGHT THE CHARTER FLIGHTS OF SHAME. BOYCOTT AIR FRANCE.

We, as film-makers, writers, artists, intellectuals, lawyers and
citizens who have occasion to travel by plane for professional or
personal reasons, declare our indignation at seeing the French airline
company Air France allowing itself to become the privileged instrument
of State xenophobia, by forcibly embarking undocumented foreigners
("sans-papiers") on its air liners or specially chartered planes bound
for Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.

Numerous eye-witness accounts from the deportees and from other
passengers and airline staff testify to the scandalous conditions under
which these deportations take place; these men are gagged, drugged,
chained, insulted and beaten with truncheons. Families are separated,
despite explicit promises to the contrary made by French government
ministers, and the sick are sent to a certain death from lack of care.

These practices are contrary to the most fundamental human rights and
serve no useful purpose other than to reinforce the xenophobic delusions
that are spreading through our country. These practices have continued
despite the protests of the trade unions represented at Air France.

For these reasons, and on the strength of the powerful moral impetus
generated by the appeal to disobey the Debre laws on immigration, we
appeal to users to BOYCOTT AIR FRANCE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES (Air Charter,
Go Voyages, Jumbo) until these practices are stopped.

We also appeal to airport ground-staff and flight personnel to refuse to
collaborate in these forced embarkments and in the take-off of these
charter flights of shame.
