"a gentler, kinder, a machine gun hand"

Neil Young, Rockin' in the free world

This is in memory of Mr. Gaganpreet Singh K. who died in an Austrian prison this morning.
See orf.at.

Mr. K. was not the suspect of a crime, he was an 'unfriendly alien',
he was treated to what the Austrian minister of the interior likes to call aufenthaltsbeendende Massnahmen.
Here I will not speculate on the causes for Mr. K.'s death; these will have to be determined by an Austrian D. A.
Mr. K. is not the first human being whose 'stay' in Austria
ended by death.
Before that, he is reported to have been on a hunger strike.

Like with the suspect of a crime before conviction
in a court his last name is not given in full by the media.

As concerned citizens, and as human beings, let us not forget that
the Declaration of Human Rights is a part of the Austrian constitution.
