Demonstrate outside Harmondsworth immigration prison, Heathrow

Detainee Solidarity London is calling for a demo this Saturday at Harmondsworth in solidarity with the 55 detainees on hunger strike since Tuesday 2nd March.

At any one time, over 2500 people are in immigration detention in the UK. Some have been detained for months, others for years. We call for the immediate closure of all detention centres and stand in solidarity with all those in Harmondsworth, Yarl's Wood and elsewhere resisting this barbaric practice.

Barriers to freedom of movement are on the rise

These days, it's not just migrants and sans-papiers who are being stopped and questioned by the authorities, but precarious workers, and stigmatised youth alike; all are being forced to undergo checks on identity and travel documents on the basis of their physical appearance.

...Spread the word & be vigilant...

Governments seek to legitimise the increasing control and surveillance of the social sphere each day via an expanding toolbox of security legislation.

Demo at Communications House Reporting Centre in London in solidarity with the Yarl's Wood hunger strikers and all asylum seekers.

Tuesday 2nd March, 1-2pm

Communications House, 210 Old Street (corner of Mallow Street, off Old Street roundabout), London, EC1V 9BR

Demo called by Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism!.
