UNHCR’s Dark Intentions: Neglect or Plan?

UNHCR’s flagrant neglect of my extended captivity and deprivation in Greece—despite high-level notifications and appeals for intervention—is not only wholly inexcusable but further implies its potential complicity in previous upheavals of my life in Southern Kurdistan and its ongoing adherence to those former plots, rather than aiding in achieving a lasting solution for my predicament.

The significance of a small tent to their response, or the lack thereof, requiring its demolition not only warrants explanation, but further underscores their involvement in its destruction, otherwise, their lack of action remains inexplicable unless their goal is to endanger my life discreetly without addressing the underlying issues.

Moreover, their directive to acquire food from the Municipality’s Day Center and a church, despite known issues—including substandard meals and rude personnel—as well as the logistics of a three-hour round trip, fails to consider the risks to unattended possessions and the challenges of carrying them, thereby severely curtailing my mobility and subjecting me once more to the acute daily starvation I’ve endured since 2020, only briefly mitigated prior to my recent shelter’s demolition.

My daily plight resembles surviving a famine in a war-torn region, unaided and unfairly hassled by the police and reception as I seek refuge from rain by the building. The morning's downpour on May 10th, 2024, that resulted in my drenching and seeking shelter at the shield area beside the UNHCR building, led to being chastised by a receptionist and subsequent police involvement that directed me to place my belongings on the sodden pavement under the threat of arrest, and heedless of the impending rain and the already damp terrain.

The lack of assistance from their purported humanitarian agencies and the ongoing cover-up, despite their full knowledge of my plight and my ten years of protest outside the UNHCR—persisting even without shelter and sustenance on grimy, bug-infested pavement, often in cold and rainy weather—implies the deliberate use of food and water scarcity as political tools by the state, with civil society’s support, for malign political aims, depriving us of all rights.

This is why despite my repeated pleas to the police, most recently on May 10th, 2024, for intervention with the relevant Greek authorities to address my prolonged captivity and deprivation in Greece, their silence persists—contrasting sharply with the usual prompt responses and statements issued regarding Greek-Turkish border issues. Read my comprehensive article below for more details.

Key Takeaways:

1?? UNHCR’s April 30th, 2024, correspondence, potentially crafted after consultation with various organizations conversant with my decade-long predicament and similarly unresponsive, may indicate a collective endeavor to veil my dire situation, consistent with Greece’s political stance on Refugees, disregarding the potential cost to human lives.

2?? Despite re-escalating my issue to the UN Secretary-General’s office again, there has been no acknowledgment from them or the UNHCR Geneva, akin to past attempts. My numerous calls to the High Commissioner’s office before my financial distress have been unsuccessful, and the UNHCR New York contact provided by the UN Secretary-General’s office responded only once.

3?? Despite my complaint to the Greek Ombudsman on my seventh shelter’s demolition, the expected inaction—judging from their previous non-responses to similar destructions—diminishes hopes for justice. This challenge remains, whether I face police violence, property confiscation or vandalism, or the latest unlawful confiscation of my shelter and possessions sans legal warrant.

4?? Suspicions of Kurdish complicity in my unwarranted 2015 expulsion from Sweden, perhaps in furtherance of their protracted vendetta aiming for my deportation to the Middle East as the final act, are accentuated by a Kurdish intermediary’s menacing words, “We won’t leave you to the end,” which fits their established modus operandi of disruptive alliances with Iranians and Greeks, indicating a perilous objective.

UNHCR has yet to reply to my April 30th, 2024, correspondence, in which I reaffirmed my unjust captivity in Greece and implored the United Nations for a legal remedy, offering viable solutions. Despite this, my vigil persists outside their headquarters amidst harsh conditions with no clarity on when or if I will receive a satisfactory response or survive to see it.

Notwithstanding, their May 10th, 2024, email persisted in offering impractical solutions regarding sustenance as previously discredited and continued to level unsubstantiated claims of aggression against me, aimed at tarnishing my reputation, irrespective of the absence of any interactions with their staff following the destruction of my seventh shelter on April 23rd, 2024. This not only underscores their malign intentions towards me but also highlights their eagerness to deflect from their own failings by disparaging those in need of their services.
