Iraqi refugees on hunger strike to protest planned deportations to Baghdad

June 8, 2011

Press release from the Coalition to Stop Deportations to Iraq and the International Federation of Iraqi Refugees, 7/6/11.

24 Iraqi refugees held in a detention centre in Oxford have started a hunger strike to protest against the government’s plans to deport them to Baghdad. More than 70 people are currently being held in detention centres around the country. Officials from the Iraqi government are currently visiting them to confirm their identities so that they can be deported, as part of an agreement between the two governments.

The majority of the detainees have refused to meet with the officials in protest at their role in the deportations.

Calais demo, 28/05/11

May 15, 2011

On Saturday 28th May there will be a demo in Calais at 2.30pm from the food distribution point to the town hall.

The basic demands are:

* Denounce the government's repressive policies against undocumented migrants and Roma
* Freedom of movement and the regularisation of undocumented migrants.

For several years there has been no demonstration in Calais on the subject and in this form. The demo follows a nationwide appeal launched by a collective of political groups and associations (Besides, we're from here) and the establishment of a north-coast collective in Calais by the group "the pot for ideas."
