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

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.

Challenging deportations: past, present and future - an open discussion

Wednesday 2nd June, 7pm
LARC (London Action Resource Centre), 62 Fieldgate Street, Whitechapel, E1 1ES.

The scale and brutality of forcible deportation has been steadily increasing over the past few years. London NoBorders is organising an open discussion to bring together refugees, migrants and anti-deportation campaigners and activists to share ideas and thoughts on how these deportations are being challenged and how they can be challenged more effectively.

Demonstrate Monday 26th: No Deportations to Iraq

(stopdeportation network) No Deportations to Iraq: Release the Hunger Strikers Now Demonstrate at the Home Office, 2 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 4DF Nearest tubes: Westminster, Victoria

Monday, 26th Oct, 4:30-6:30pm

Iraqi refugees locked up in Brook House and Colnbrook detention centres are on hunger strike since Monday, 19th  October, to protest against their inhumane treatment and  demand their immediate release. The hunger strikers include some of those who were forcibly deported to Baghdad in the first mass deportation to southern Iraq last week but were returned to the UK after the Iraqi authorities refused to accept them, as well as some who have just been given 'removal directions' to Iraqi Kurdistan (northern Iraq) and could be deported any time in the next couple of weeks.
