There have been several more actions in support of Harmondsworth detainees, following their recent revolt.

No Borders London joined 80 demonstrators protesting outside Harmondsworth and Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centres on Sunday the 3rd December 2006 (picture above; report here).

Three days later, 25 people joined another solidarity demo at Communications House in London, called by London Fight Racism Fight Imperialism (report here).

An article by Harmit Athwal at the Institute for Race Relations website reports on the inquest into the death of Sergey Barnanyuk at Harmondsworth detention centre in July 2004. Barnayuk, a construction worker and father from the Ukraine, apparently took his life having been been abandoned in legal limbo in the removal centre system. His death sparked an uprising by other detainees.

The East London Communities Organisation (TELCO) has launched Strangers into Citizens, a campaign for regularisation of migrants living in the UK. TELCO is an alliance of 35 faith groups, schools, student organisations, union branches and charities across 5 East London boroughs. The campaign has also been endorsed by South London Citizens and is being considered for a national campaign by the CITIZENS network, under the umbrella of The Citizen Organising Foundation.
