This weekend - National Protests Against Deadly Detention

No one is illegal. No Borders. | 26.07.2004 16:51 | Liverpool

Campaigners around the country are staging demonstrations this weekend at those Removal Centres and main-stream prisons, to commemorate the needless deaths, show solidarity with detainees, and demand an end to the deadly policy of indefinite detention of men, women and children who are not accused of any crime.

Following the deaths last week at Harmondsworth and Dungavel Removal Centres, detainees have been moved to Removal Centres and main-stream prisons after the disturbance at Harmondsworth.


At least 4 demos are being organised and there may be more

* Campsfield Removal Centre (near Oxford) 12.00 midday

* Dover Removal Centre – details to follow

* Liverpool Prison – TBC and details to follow soon

Sunday 1st August

We ask everyone to participate and any campaigners thinking of organising a demo to contact us so that press releases can detail all demos. We intend to issue a press release and a leaflet and hope that other demo organisers can use and/or modify this material for their demo.

Please distribute this information as widely as possible
