Opposing the Launch of ID Cards, Nov 25th
one of noborders | 18.11.2008 11:46 | Migration
Biometric ID cards will come into force for non-EU students and spouses from 25th November and will be issued from offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, London(Croydon), Glasgow, Liverpool, and Sheffield.
We will be holding a protest outside the Home Office building (Lunar House) in Croydon, London and hope for protests outside each of the other offices on that day.
Borders are rising around all of us, immigration law already gives the Home Office powers it would like to exert over everybody. We are against repression in all its forms and the many controls which would restrict the lives of everyone. The UK is becoming a mass surveillance society, migrants are at the very sharp end. We see the launch of ID cards for some migrants as a further step to the general introduction of ID cards and the strenghtening of control in the UK.
By resisting the repression of migrants, we defend the freedom of everyone!
