The front banner of the demo, behind which there was, amongst others ...
Over 500 people marched in London today as part of the Transnational Day of Action Against Migration Controls. The march was loud, colourful and had a festive atmosphere.

Below there's a selection of pics that aims o show this diversity

Oct 7 Brussels: Reclaim the Streets celebrates migrants day of action

07-10-2006 16:11

In Brussels, the Oct 7 action day for migrants rights was celebrated by several demos, one of them a Reclaim the Streets party, another one by sans papiers from Congo - Congolese against Borders.

Here is a quick report from that party.
