Mafungesi Maikokera and Philip Shamamba, former detainees and hunger strikers addressed the 60/70 protesters who stood outside the gates of Campsfield IRC



In November 1993 Campsfield opened with the bussing-in of detainees from the detention huts at Harmondsworth. Today, 14 years later, thousands of innocent people have been detained in Campsfield without charge or conviction, without time limit and without judicial oversight. And since then the huts of Harmondsworth detention centre have been replaced by the huge new detention centres, Colnbrook and Kalyx‚ and eight others have opened, among them Yarl's Wood, Europe's largest.
