Stop deportations to Iraq! Demo at Iraqi Embassy 06/10/10

October 1, 2010

Demonstration called by the Coalition to Stop Deportations to Iraq:

Wednesday 6th October, 12.30pm-1.30pm

At the Iraqi Embassy, 3 Elvaston Place, London SW7 5QH (just off Gloucester Road, two minutes north of Gloucester Road underground station)

In the last month more than one hundred Iraqi and Kurdish refugees have been deported to Baghdad. There is another mass deportation planned for the 6th October.

People are being taken from their families and homes in the UK, detained, beaten and sent back to a war zone.

The Kurdistan Regional Government was shamed into refusing to accept anymore deportations to the north of Iraq after a popular campaign led by deportees and refugees in Iraq and Europe.

Instead, the British Government has started to deport people back to Baghdad as it continues to play politics with the lives of Iraqi refugees.

The persecution of Roma - Infonight - 28/09/10

September 8, 2010
In the last few weeks we have seen a terrifying attack on the Roma in France. Led by President Sarkozy himself, the French state has declared war on the Roma population, both recent arrivals from Eastern Europe and Roma who have lived in France for generations. There have been highly publicised eviction raids on Roma and Gypsy settlements with mass deportations to Eastern European countries. The language used by the French state is the same as that of Vichy when they rounded up Jews for the concentration camps. This has polarised French opinion and thousands came out to demonstrate in solidarity with the Roma across France.

Demonstration against evictions of Roma, French Embassy, 04/09/10

September 2, 2010

The Irish Traveller Movement in Britain is calling for a demo at 1pm on Saturday 4th September outside the French Embassy (58 Knightsbridge) against the recent policies of the French Government, which have resulted in families with children as young as 2 weeks old being evicted with less than 30 minutes notice to gather their things and left homeless on the streets of France. Others have been packed onto planes with no choice and sent back to their home countries. Some of the Roma have lived in France all their lives.
