In January four detainees will go on trial charged with criminal damage following riots in Harmondsworth in November 2006. There is a public meeting in London on Tuesday 13th November to discuss how we can support the four before, during and after the trial.

Defend the Harmondsworth 4!

Public meeting called by No Borders London.

7pm, Tuesday 13th November, at the Institute of Race Relations, 2-6 Leeke
Street, London WC1X 9HS (near Kings Cross)

In November 2006 detainees at Harmondsworth immigration detention centre
protested against conditions inside the centre and their treatment by the
guards.

The centre was damaged and the detainees were moved to other detention centres
and prisons.

Three detainees were charged with criminal damage and a further detainee was
charged with conspiracy to cause criminal damage.

The trial of these "Harmondsworth 4" is due to start in January and we are
inviting people to a public meeting to discuss how we can support them before,
during and after the trial.

In previous years there have been defence campaigns following similar
incidences at Campsfield and Yarls Wood. Activists from both campaigns will be
speaking at the meeting about their experiences.

The meeting is supported by Barbed Wire Britain: the Network to End Migrant and
Refugee Detention.

No Borders London calls for the immediate closure of all immigration detention
centres and an end to deportations. We are fighting for a world without
migration controls. No Borders No Nations!
