At the above meeting on 6 May, demonstration was called for 6pm on Saturday 9 May 2009 as part of the process to build an anti-deportation campaign against the deportation of the 11 Pakistani students arrested in Cheetham Hill in April, some of whom are held in Strangeways prison, Salford.
At a Respect meeting in Cheetham Hill on 6 May, the meeting unanimously agreed to begin to build an anti-deportation campaign against the deportation of the 11 Pakistani students arrested in Cheetham Hill on 1 April, some of whom are held in Strangeways gaol (HMP Manchester, off Bury New Road). So a demonstration was called by the meeting for 6pm on Saturday 9 May 2009 at Strangeways prison.
Please support this demo and help prevent the deportation of these innocent students arrested as part of Labour's war on Muslim and immigrant communities.
No to all deportations! No to Labour's police state!
Defend all immigrants and asylum seekers!
Hands of the Muslim community!
P.S. Nahella Ashraf, of the Stop the War Coalition (STWC) attended the meeting in Cheetham Hill on 6 May, but failed to announce the proposed Strangeways demonstration at a meeting she chaired the very next day on the terror raids and criminalising communities at the Manchester Town Hall, Albert Square. This sectarianism (or forgetfulness) is truly shameful but sadly typical of the SWP/STWC. The 'We didn't organise the event so we won't support it' trend of the social democratic British 'left' has to end as it doesn't help anyone, let alone the 11 Pakistani students facing deportation.
