No to state racism! Defend all asylum seekers! No to deportations! No to the racist Labour government!





The next protest in the series of monthly protests at Dallas Court Reporting Centre, South Langworthy Road, Salford Quays (nearest Tram stop Broadway), will be held on Monday 26 March 2007 at 12pm - 2pm. People are kidnapped daily at Dallas Court and taken to detention centres, and racially abused and insulted by racist staff. All are urged to attend and support these protests against the oppression of asylum seekers by this racist Labour government. NWASDG has been organising these protests since May 2006. Get involved!

Doing more harm than good?

Whilst i entirely agree with your cause, i'm not sure you're going about it the right way.

The location of Dallas court means that the only people who see your protest are the Immigration and the Security staff and those signing. There are no real passers by, so you are preaching either to the deaf or the converted.

Unfortunately protesting then has the side effect of increasing the security and the special 'welcoming' attitude that Group 4 staff have, which makes the already traumatic experience of signing even worse. They are much less likely to allow people to accompany those with health issues, something ive experienced first hand.

I'll say again i agree with you completely, but think in terms of raising awareness, your work in the City Centre is much better.

I can also see that it shows solidarity towards those signing, but i will come back to my point of it making their trip to Dallas Court more traumatic and humiliating.
