Campaigners around the country are staging demonstrations this weekend at those Removal Centres and main-stream prisons, to commemorate the needless deaths, show solidarity with detainees, and demand an end to the deadly policy of indefinite detention of men, women and children who are not accused of any crime.
Following the deaths last week at Harmondsworth and Dungavel Removal Centres, detainees have been moved to Removal Centres and main-stream prisons after the disturbance at Harmondsworth.
At least 4 demos are being organised and there may be more
