No Borders has called a demonstration against the proposed new Detention Centre at Gatwick on Saturday 21st April 2007:
Over 2,600 people, mostly asylum seekers, are locked up in detention camps and prisons in Britain, without trial and without time limit and with no automatic right to bail. The government is building new detention centres with a target capacity of 4000. One of these is about to be built inside the Gatwick airport area. They are starting building works in the coming months and planning to finish it by 2008.
