To Be a Refugee in the Czech Republic
A My name is Carol Sanford. As a volunteer for OPU (Organizace pro pomoc
uprchlíkům, Organisation for Aid to Refugees), I had come to know Patrick
Francis, a tall, thin, dark-skinned man from Pakistan. He was telling me the
story of his ex-roommates at a refugee camp at Červený Újezd in the Czech Republic.
It is a compound converted from old army barracks,
holding a total of about 300 people: families, single men and some single
women.
B The rooms are just big enough to hold metal beds, a wardrobe, some
chairs and a table. There's a cafeteria, library, a small building for
children's games and a place for adults to play basketball. It is surrounded by
trees, and the nearest village is within walking distance.
C Patrick himself was a Christian, and when someone burned the Koran back
in his native community in Pakistan,
he was considered the likely suspect by some Muslims. They beat him up at least
twice and so, because he thought he'd never be safe, he left his wife and two
daughters with his brother and went to Karachi
where, a little over a year ago, he met up with Ahmad and together they paid a
man to get them to Germany.
D The man provided passports and papers, and, soon, they were on a plane
to Moscow, where met another man who was to
drive them to Germany.
He drove for five nights, after which, he declared they were in Germany.
Actually, Patrick and Ahmad had been dropped off in a small village in the Czech Republic.
With help from the Czech police, they made their way to the refugee camp at Červený
Újezd.
E Today, it is Patrick's last day at Červený Újezd. He has to leave
because he's received his second "negative," which means that his
first and second applications for asylum in the Czech Republic have been rejected;
the Czech government no longer supports him with the free room, board and
monthly stipend of 360 Czech crowns (USD 11) given to every adult. And so,
after over a year in the Czech Republic,
Patrick continues to fight with the process of asylum in a refugee camp – hoping
that, someday, he will live and work here independently in peace and make
enough money to send to his family back in Pakistan.
