ǂThe ǂcase of Ahmad Shamieh's campaign against Dublin Deportation

embodiment of political violence and community care

Jelka Zorn (Author)

Abstract

Differently from studies that analyze antideportation struggles in relation to concepts of state sovereignty and (un)making of citizenship, this paper focuses more on intersection of politics and body. It discusses struggle for the "place in the world" as an embodied experience. Ahmad Shamieh came to Slovenia in 2016 through the humanitarian corridor on the Balkan route. The Slovene Ministry of the Interior refused to examine his asylum claim and instead issued him a Dublin Regulation decision, stating that he was to be deported to Croatia. Ahmad's and his supporters' legal and political struggle, which lasted several years, prevented his deportation. In contrast to state's politics of exclusion, causing dehumanization and traumatization the grassroots community struggle developed the politics of inclusion, solidarity and care from below, in practice transforming the conditions of belonging.
