Detainees at Campsfield migrant prison near Oxford are currently on hunger strike in protest at their injust situation. This is a short report from Tuesday night, forwarded from a campaign mailing list..

Tremendous amounts of rhythmic banging and chanting could be heard over
Langford Lock industrial estate from about 23:50 but could have started
earlier as its pretty noisy at work too.

The noise had petered out by 01:00ish this morning, when we finished, but
was incredible at the time. Even at 250/300 yards away. Chants of
"Freedom" and "We Want Freedom Now" echoed across the estate.
