Close Down Dallas Court Reporting Centre! 26 March 2007, 12pm.

At 12pm, on Monday 26 March 2007, the North West Asylum Seekers Defence Group (NWASDG) are holding a protest at Dallas Court 'Reporting' Centre in Salford Quays, Manchester, calling for an end to the daily kidnappings of asylum seekers at Dallas Court and for this place of fear to be closed down. In the last 10 months, there have been eight people, that we know of, who have been kidnapped at Dallas Court after going to 'report' and not seen again until they were in a detention centre or deported. This does not include a Congolese lady called Rosetta, who was detained there on 13 March. NWASDG have been mounting protests at Dallas Court since May 2006, and in the last month groups of asylum seekers from Iraq, Libya, DRCongo and Zimbabwe have demonstrated at this place, indicating the growing anger of refugees towards the British Labour government's racist policy of forcing immigrants including families, pregnant women and children, to comply with a repressive sysyem, and then use it as an opportunity to quietly deport them.


Hence asylum seekers are petrified of Dallas Court, and some have panic attacks as they approach the place. This blatantly racist treatment of asylum seekers, by this Labour government is an affront to humanity. Especially when we remind ourselves that Britain is responsible for the wars, conflict and poverty that these people are fleeing in the first place, through its imperialist wars and exploitation of the oppressed countries especially in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. NWASDG demands an end to kidnappings at Dallas Court, and calls for reporting centres such as Dallas Court to be closed down!
