Every day people in the UK are subjected to surveillance and borders. We are followed by CCTV, we leave electronic footprints when we use bankcards or search online, and we need to present the right papers to access “public” services. This is all designed to control us and prevent freedom of movement. Technology that was pioneered at national frontiers, such as drones, is now used to monitor protests.

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.
