In Glasgow, Tyneside, Manchester and elsewhere, regular pickets of immigration reporting centres are ensuring that anyone working or living nearby is made aware that these are places of fear for asylum seekers. However the central London reporting centre at Old Street goes mostly unnoticed
A few demonstrations have taken place there, organised by No Borders and others in 2004 and most recently Global Women’s Strike in April 2006, but there is currently no regular presence. FRFI London has therefore decided to initiate regular monthly demonstrations from June until September, after which we will hold a meeting of everyone who wants to be involved to assess progress and decide on future action.
Protest at UK Immigration Service, Communications House, 210 Old Street, London, EC1V 9BR (nearest tube – Old Street) Mondays 5 June, 3 July, 7 August, 4 September 1-2pm. For further information phone 0207 837 1688
