Am Samstag, den 7. Oktober 2006 findet ein transnationaler Aktionstag gegen die Kontrolle von Migration statt. Dies ist nach dem 31. Jänner 2004 und dem 2. April 2005 der 3. derartige Tag.

Mit Bezug auf die tragischen Ereignisse an den Grenzzäunen von Ceuta und Melilla 2005 (Fotos) hat ein breites Netzwerk von Initiativen zu Aktionen an diesem Tag aufgerufen. In Anlehung an den Aufruf von Bamako wurde am Europäischen Sozialforum (Athen, Mai 2006) der 7. Oktober zum internationalen Tag der Mobilisierung für die Rechte der MigrantInnen erklärt und in der Folge vom Weltforum über Migrationen (Madrid, Juni 2006) und der euro-afrikanische Nicht-Regierungs-Konferenz (Rabat, Juli 2006) unterstützt.

An diesem Tag wird es zu zahlreichen vernetzten Protesten vor allem in Afrika und Europa kommen. In diesem Feature findet sich eine unvollständige Auflistung der Veranstaltungen und Aktionen, die rund um den Migrationsaktionstag geplant sind. Soweit nicht anders angegeben, finden diese am Samstag, 7. Oktober statt. (Die Liste ist nur auf englisch, eine Auflistung auf französisch findet sich hier.)
