A member with refugee experience from the Club La Fafa (French for 'the family') submitted two applications for asylum in Switzerland and was rejected twice. This was followed by the status of sans papier and subsequently the decision to leave Switzerland.

During the waiting period until the first decision, the person, like all other asylum seekers, lived in precarious circumstances, and after the first negative decision on CHF 8.50 per day. Minor offences were committed (fare evasion, theft of food, ...), whereupon the resulting fines could not be paid and were enforced with substitute custodial sentences. A never-ending spiral of prison sentences was set in motion.

Raphael Perret (Club La Fafa), has lithographed eight penalty orders in the Thomi Wolfensberger lithographic print shop in an edition of 3 copies + 1AP on handmade paper and flocked them with excerpts of the factual statements in gold. They are now being offered for sale as originals. The net proceeds will be passed on unconditionally to the anonymous member of the association as seed capital.
