Press Release: AUTONOMOUS SPACE FOR MIGRANTS AND ACTIVISTS OPENS IN CALAIS

January 28, 2010

Activists from the transnational No Borders network and the French
organisation, SôS Soutien aux Sans Papiers, have opened a large warehouse for migrants in Calais[1].

The building is to be an autonomous space for migrants and activists struggling for the right to freedom of movement. It will be host to information-sharing, debate and practical solidarity. The Kronstadt building is located in the town that has become the symbol of Fortress Europe, a place where police arrests and beatings of migrants are a daily occurrence, and where night-time pursuits are relentless[2].

Life is too short to be controlled


Saturday 23rd January 2010
2pm St. Pancras International | 4.30pm Piccadilly Circus
While the migration regime is fortifying itself and setting up rings of defence around European wealth, inner control is tightening to keep public order, at a time where the nation state already seems to be a dead corpse. And with an economy which exploits the most virtual property, the need to control even the remotest parts of people's lives is increasing.

Solidarity with resistance in detention - network meeting

January 22, 2010

A few years ago, people from No Borders, Crossroads Women's Centre, FRFI and others came together to form a network aimed at responding to resistance inside immigration detention centres around London (hunger strikes etc) by organising quick-response protests outside.
