Detainees on hunger strike in Campsfield

According to contacts several people are on hunger strike inside Campsfield migration prison in protest against their imprisonment.

For 5 days now around 15 - 20 people have been on hunger strike inside Campsfield, a detention centre for migrants just outside Oxford.

A good background article about Campsfield is here:

At the moment I don't have any more detailed information, but we are in the process of establishing contact with some of the people involved directly, so hopefully we will find out more soon.

There are 13 people on hunger strike, they are all from Darfur. An impromptu solidarity demo took place this evening (Tue), and some people are planning to visit them tomorrow (Wed). After the visit we should hopefully have more details/statements from the people involved.
