monthly picket of Communications House migrant reporting centre Saturday 4th November 1-3pm organised by No Borders London
CLOSE THIS SECRET PRISON IN THE HEART OF LONDON !
FOR FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
AND THE RIGHT TO STAY !
STOP DETENTIONS !
STOP DEPORTATIONS !
Picket
Communications House
junction of Old Street and Mallow Street (Old Street Ø)
1-3pm every first Saturday of the month
COMMUNICATIONS HOUSE is a "reporting and enforcement centre" of the Immigration and Nationality Department (IND).
Asylum seekers who report here can be detained and removed–and may not ever see their friends and family here again. 85 people, including families, were seized this way in six months to April 2004.
· Communications House contains a "Short Term Holding Centre" managed by private prison company GSL (previously part of Group4)–subject of 2 major media exposes of racist abuse by employees. Those seized at Communications House are held incommunicado until a Wackenhut van removes them to their unknown fate. Friends, lawyers and family may not discover what has happened to them for days.
· Communications House is part of a spreading Gulag of prisons (“holding”, “detention” or “removal centres”) that hold thousands of people who have committed no crime–almost all run for private profit.
· It's right in the heart of London yet few know it is there, or what happens there. Many people will be appalled to learn about it.
