On 15th April a contingent from Tyneside Community Action from Refugees travelled to Manchester to support the demonstration against the arbitrary detention and criminalisation of those seeking asylum in Britain (overall report at  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/04/338328.html)






It was a great experience to share solidarity with people from so many parts of Britain and the world. TCAR is calling for a national day of action against Immigration Reporting Centres on 22nd June, as part of International Refugee Week. Comrades speaking at the manchester demo said that they will certainly be answering this call in Manchester. We hope people from other parts of the country take the opportunity for a coordinated day of action, to build on the actions carried out recently against reporting centres in London, Glasgow, Leeds (and hopefully other places we haven't heaqrd about yet!), to break the silence around these places of fear and repression.
