Birmingham Anti-Racist Campaign is organising a vigil during Refugee Week, a week which traditionally celebrates the positive contribution of refugees to the UK. At the same time, ARC wishes to draw the attention of local people to the more shameful aspects of asylum: the horrors and injustices of Britain's asylum system and the shameful persecution of refugees and asylum seekers by the popular press.

Tuesday 20 June, 5pm to 9pm at the Cathedral Square, Colmore Row.
