Squatter from 195 Mare Street Detained by UKBA

Mare Street Social Centre | 06.12.2013 16:52 | Migration | London

Article about the Detention of Ira Putiloss, a squatter and member of the 195 social centre collective

A friend, comrade, and squatmate, Ira Putiloss has been detained today by UKBA officials. Ira is an LQBTQ person from Russia who is currently claiming asylum in the U.K for her own safety. In Russia she was harrassed, followed, and attacked, by state officials, the police and Neo Nazis because of her political activism and LGBTQ status; if she is returned to Russia she is likely to face torture, detention, and potentially death. Today (06/12/13) she was taken by UKBA officials to Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre and may face imminent deportation. We have recently lost contact with Ira, but are hoping to speak to her later tonight when she arrives at Yarls Wood. In the mean time, we ask everyone reading this to spread the word about Ira and her situation, and to contact groups or people who might be able to help- keep your eyes and ears open, and any updates we have will be posted here. All and any actions of support/solidarity are greatly appreciated by Ira and her Friends.

No Borders, No Nations, Fuck deportations.

A friend, comrade, and squatmate, Ira Putiloss has been detained today by
UKBA officials. Ira is an LQBTQ person from Russia who is currently
claiming asylum in the U.K for her own safety. In Russia she was
harrassed, followed, and attacked, by state officials, the police and Neo
Nazis because of her political activism and LGBTQ status; if she is
returned to Russia she is likely to face torture, detention, and
potentially death. Today (06/12/13) she was taken by UKBA officials to
Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre and may face imminent deportation as
she is on the Fast Track System. We have recently lost contact with Ira,
but are hoping to speak to her later tonight when she arrives at Yarls
Wood. In the mean time, we ask everyone reading this to spread the word
