SOLIDARITY TO THE HUNGER STRIKERS / CLOSE ALL DETENTION CENTERES
Today we displayed a banner in Trafalgar Square during the Love Music Hate Racism event, reading ' SOLIDARITY TO THE HUNGER STRIKERS / CLOSE ALL DETENTION CENTERES'. Thousands of people saw it, altough I cannot guarantee they understood. We distributed a leaflet about the hunger strike.
Birmingham NoBorders Protest at the Immigration Reporting Centre in Solihull
Following a call-out by Birmingham NoBorders earlier this week, some 20 people, including a few asylum seekers, demonstrated yesterday (28 April, 2006) at the West Midlands Immigration Centre in Solihull. The demonstration was in solidarity with the ongoing hunger strikes in various detention centres and to protest against the inhumane treatment of asylum seekers that this place embodies, from asylum seekers’ having to "sign on" every week to "snatch squads" and "dawn raids".

Colnbrook Hungerstrike Solidarity Page
In response to being mistreated by the authorities during a demonstration at the detention centers near Heathrow on 8 April, detainees in Colnbrook detention center started a hunger strike on 10 April 2006. They demanded from the Home Office an end to their detention. Anticipating that their demands would be met, most of them ended their hunger strike on 23 April. Since this anticipation proved wrong, many decided to continue. On this page, you find a timeline of the events, solidarity actions and reports in the media.
