France’s CGT union: doing the immigration police’s dirty work

21-07-2009 23:52 | Migration | Social Struggles | World

Winter 1980-81 in France saw the French Communist Party (PCF) use its municipal power to attack immigrants in Paris, with the Vitry-sur-Seine council organising bulldozers to stop the construction of a hostel for 300 workers from Mali (therefore leaving them homeless) and leading member Robert Hue, mayor of Montigny-lès-Cormeilles, leading a march against immigrants he had labelled “drug traffickers”. Now again in 2009 the chauvinism of France’s institutional left has reared its ugly head.

Iloba Family: Hopeful smiles from behind the barbed wire fence
From behind the 20ft walls of Yarl’s Wood immigration detention centre, there is not much view of the outside world. For the Iloba family who, after five years in the UK, were bundled into the back of a van to be deported, there is also little to view for the future. Betty Iloba and her children, Toby (18), Saskia (17), and Emmanuel (14), spoke of how they were sent to the UK by their policeman father, who feared for their lives, just months before he himself was killed.

Updated action ideas to support Calais migrants

Information from activists on the ground in Calais points to the police preparing to destroy some or many of the ‘jungles’ housing around 1,800 migrants in Calais, this Monday 20th July or Tuesday 21st July. These ‘jungles’ are where people who have travelled across Europe wait in makeshift shelters, with little food or medical assistance, for their nightly attempts to get onto lorries making the crossing to the UK. Many of the migrants will be unaware of this threat.

Dear Mr. Miliband...

They believe in justice, they believe in the rule of law and this country doesn't get involved in torture...so where are the two remaining British residents in Guantánamo Bay? Before Miliband & Co. disappear for their lengthy summer holidays (until October), please drop them a daily email and ask them where Shaker Aamer and Ahmed Belbacha are...

08-07-2009 18:54 | Analysis | Anti-racism | Migration | World

During an anarchist march in Greece in solidarity with immigrants, cops threw stones at protesters and fascists, openly cooperating with the cops, attempted to throw molotov cocktails against the anarchists, clearly seeking to injure them. Being untrained in this traditionaly grassroots sport, the fascists instead set themselves on fire! [PHOTOS]
