Detainees appear to have tried to prevent this, and the riot began. As a result the racist and repressive British government sent in 35 police officers and a dozen officers of "Torando Teams" carrying shields to Campsfield. Tornado teams, previously called 'Mufti Squads', are a highly-trained, fast-response team of riot squad prison officers. Following the ill treatment of two detainees, both from DRCongo, they ended up in hospital, along with seven immigration staff! According to reports, a detainee being at held Campsfield said, 'They used force to drag the person from the bed and after that everything kicked off'. The brave detainees are 'destroying every bit of equipment they can find...' Police, fire and ambulance teams are apparently still at Campsfield., along with helicopter hovering overhead, police dog units and mounted police now patrolling the perimeter of the centre.


Campsfield Detention Centre is run by a private US company - GEO UK Ltd, but ultimately by the racist Labour government, who use private companies to try and absolve themselves from the responsibility of repressing immigrants and for profit.

The North West Asylum Seekers Defence Group (NWASDG) calls for all detention centres, such as Campsfield, to be closed down and all detainees being held to released immediately. Seeking asylum is not a crime!
