5 years ago, Brother Tonou-Mbobda was brutally restrained to death in front of the UKE Psychiatric Clinic by security staff of Klinik Logistik & Engeneering GmbH without an actual court order and without supervision of any medical doctor in charge.

On this bitter day for the family, friends and our Black community as a whole, we do not only honour our Brother Tonou-Mbobda, but our thoughts are dedicated especially towards his relatives and the bereaved.

People in mental health crises or in afflicted situations are repeatedly victims of structural violence and institutional discrimination in Germany – too often this violence is fatal and there is regularly no appropriate investigation or propper litigation. Moreover, the victims are generally and reflexively labelled as criminal offenders and „blamed“ responsible for their own deaths in the course of structural cover up of state or other institutions.

Names such as #NDeyeMareameSarr (Aschaffenburg 2001), #DominiqueKoumadiou (Dortmund 2005), #ChristySchwundeck Frankfurt/Main 2011), #AmosThomas (Rohrbach,Bayern 2016), #AmanAlizada (Stade 2019), #MohamedIdrissi (Bremen 2020), #MouhamedLamineDramé (Dortmund 2022) , #LaminTouray (Nienburg/Weser 2024) and many more signify the ongoing deadly violence against people in mental health crises, who were never given professional help or de-escalative empathy, but escalating threats and deadly violence.

When we mourn and commemorate the death of Brother Tonou-Mbobda for the 5th time on Sunday, 21.04.2024, we are also protesting against the structural perpetrator-victim reversal, the systemic cover-up, the ruthless criminalisation of the victims and the habitual impunity for the perpetrators. A system that obviously does’nt seem to be able to draw appropriate consequences from unprofessional mistakes and fatal escalation strategies to bring about change cannot seriously refute the accusation of cross-institutional structural discrimination – then this practises are not only „accepted“, but in principle exactly what is wanted to be executed again and again!

We ask you to join us on this 5th anniversary in front of the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf – UKE to commemorate our brother Tonou-Mbobda.

Please bring flowers, signs and grave candles to make this commemoration a dignified event.
