Monday 4.30pm to 5.30pm. 25 Chapel Street NW1, Nearest tube Edgware Rd.
Nobody should live there, especially not the innocent
Anne Owers described Harmondsworth Detention Centre as having slipped into a "a culture wholly at odds with its stated purpose".
The problem with Harmondsworth and other Immigration Removal Centres is
not any shortcomings with respect to their stated purpose, but that they
exist in the first place. They reflect the inhumane system of migration
controls that lock up refugees and migrants just because they try to
make a life here.
The much-publicised revolt by Harmondsworth detainees on 29th November shows
that people, regardless of their desperation, will always struggle for their
human dignity. A human dignity denied by a system which makes people illegal so
as to control them and keep us all in a state of fear.
Kalyx is a private company profiting from the public panic. It's part of
the Sodhexo empire which makes money out of exploiting people and
disposing of them; these are the ultimate traffickers in human misery.
We are in solidarity with all migrants and refugees and their desire for
freedom. We hold Kalyx and the Home Office responsible for the
sufferings of the detainees and demand that they are brought to account.
No Borders is calling for a protest outside the headquarters of Kalyx on
Edgware Road this Monday, 18th December 2006 from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. 25
Chapel Street NW1, Nearest tube Edgware Rd.
