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.
Several asylum seekers and migrants are still on hunger strike in Colnbrook and other detention centres, some have re-started the strike after their requests were more or less ignored. Amongst them Amos Onokare Alajaibo, who is badly injuried after being beaten by mufti (prison riot squad) at Haslar detention centere, after the peaceful occupation of the courtyard. Amos and most of the Haslar protesters were moved to Colnbrook. As a result of the beating, Amos has lost use of his hands and other detanees have to feed him , he can only drink with a straw, one of his knees is injuried and he has to move around hopping on one leg, as he has been denied the use of a wheelchair. According to the Health 'Care' in Colnbrook he does not have mobility problems.He also suffers from sharp pain in his lower back and problems passing urine. Fellow detanees are asking Amos to resume eating becuse he is too sick to be on hunger strike, but he is refusing.
Linda Patrick Sesa, who wowed to ' die with the hunger' rather than be deported, has now been moved to the Health ' Care' in Colnbrook. A visitor was told by detention staff Linda Patrik 'did not want to see him' - in fact he was too weak to walk to the visit room.
