No to Deportations and Destitution demonstration

South Yorkshire Migration and Asylum Action Group | 20.11.2009 16:35 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Sheffield

When the UK steps up its attacks on asylum seekers, South Yorkshire says No. Join our demonstration in Sheffield on Saturday 28th at 11am outside Sheffield Town Hall.

In a pre-election "get tough on asylum" move the Labour Govrnment has:
Deported people to Baghdad claiiming it is "safe"
Cut asylum benefits by £7 per week to £35 per week
Threatened to deport people to Zimbabwe
Forced people to travel in person the length of the UK to make an asylum claim

It's time for South Yorkshire people to show solidarity with those seeking asylum from war, persecution and torture.

Organised by the South Yorkshire Migration and Asylum Group (SYMAAG), supported by the Committee to Defend Asylum Seekers and many refugee community organisations
