Protest against Arora's plans to turn hotel into immigration prison

06-10-2009 14:45

Six activists from No Borders London today held a protest at the Arora International Hotel near Heathrow airport against Arora International's plans to turn its four-star hotel at Gatwick, Mercure, into yet another immigration prison (see press release here:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/10/439267.html).

After a 'friendly' chat with Tim Jurdon, Head of Planning at Arora Management Services Ltd., protesters unfurled a banner reading 'Arora Prisons International' and started to leaflet guests and staff in the lobby. After about 10 minutes, they were dragged out by security guards. Below are some photos and what *you* can do.

You never know, the factory might even be a workers' coop.

Evaluation of noborder camp in Lesvos, Greece

06-10-2009 09:57

The infopoint
This summer saw two major bordercamps, one at the northwest of the Schengen-country, in Calais, France and one at its southern edge on the island lesvos, Greece. Many migrants who first arrived and were detained in Greece made their way to Calais, trying to reach the UK. A part from their obvious political purpose, both bordercamps became convergence spaces were activists and migrants shared experiences. This raised new questions and conflicts, but also brought some ideas how political and social struggles could be made to merge. Here is an evaluation of the Lesvos border camp by transact from October 2009.

Shut down Pagani! Azadi*! An evaluation of the no border camp in Lesvos

06-10-2009 06:37

Never before have we experienced a noborder camp on the outer borders of the EU at which political protests and social struggles for the freedom of movement were as intertwined as they were in Lesvos. International press coverage about the detention centre at Pagani was considerable and we return with many new impulses for transnational networking. Even if meetings were characterised by strong disagreements, our evaluation of Lesvos is overwhelmingly positive.(1)
