Report from visitors to a detainee on Wednesday afternoon 4 August 2010 :
BC [the detainee] affirmed that some 180 detainees in Campsfield are standing together in the hunger strike.
He also affirmed that organisers had made clear to everyone that any kind of violent behaviour such as breaking windows, damaging property or attempting to break out would not be tolerated. Their action was directed at the manifold injustice of the Asylum and Immigration system and to get a proper response from its authorities in the Ministry and Government.
