Find out more about repression of innocent people on your doorstep.

There will be a meeting on Monday 9th May, 7pm at OARC to learn more about the proposed 'accommodation centre' in Bicester. The centre is part of the government's plan to keep on detaining migrants, and will basically be another prison. It is going to be privately run by GSL, the company that runs Campsfield, and various other prisons and detention centres, and is already notorious for misconduct and mistreatment of detainees. Local activists are already campaigning against the centre and thinking of ways in which to support the detainees once they are there. So come to the meeting, find out more about what's going on and how to get involved.

OARC is room one upstairs at the East Oxford Community Centre, corner of Cowley Road and Princes St, 01865 243121
