KOMITÉEN FLYGTNINGE UNDER JORDEN | Founded in 1986.The committee is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but works all over the country | | Komitéen Flygtninge Under Jorden (The Committee Refugees Underground) works actively to secure that the rights of refugees, according to Danish law and international conventions, are respected by the Danish immigration and asylum policy authorities. The committee offers juridical counseling to unlawfully dismissed asylum seekers, which yearly leads to 10-15 reversals in cases of asylum and humanitarian residence permits. Thus, we correct the mistakes made by the Danish immigration and asylum policy authorities – intentionally as well as unintentionally. For further information, please contact the committee's spokes woman Helle Bliddal at t: +45 36 17 70 22 or e: Komiteen.fuj@get2net.dk. | | Contribution: Participates in Station 2: Aarhus Art Building, Aarhus, with “Some say it's according to the stories,” 2004.
