To mark the launch of the group, an online collection of 16 essays on civil liberties has been published - with topics including the 'war on terror', EU border controls, denial of children's rights, ASBOs, public corruption, globalisation, and deportations.

London Communications House: Close this Racist Prison!

London, 1 October. Noborder activists unfurled a large banner in Old Street, East London, across the front of communications house, as part of a day of action against detentions and deportations [pics] Communications House is a "reporting and enforcement centre" of the Immigration and Nationality Department, in fact a prison for asylum seekers in the heart of London [irr-report]. An activist says: "Streams of people were registering. The action wasn't the most dramatic thing, it was like a beginning of something."

No Borders demo at communications house

Refigees have to 'sign on' at immigration facility Communications House which is located at the top end of city road by the Old Street roundabout. Unlike signing on the dole refugees are regularly detained at Communications House, put in holding cells then deported. Imagine having to report to a building every week not knowing if your about to be returned to the country where you have been tortured? Very humane...

Today's demo was called to draw attention to what is happening inside the building. More to follow. Read more >>

STOP British Airways Flight BA302 at 6:20am Thursday 14 July

re-posted from NCADC News Service

Charles Pouaha must stay!

Urgent: Please help stop the removal of Charles Beaudelaire Pouaha On British Airways Flight BA302 at 6:20am Thursday 14 July "I escaped Cameroon and came to England on the 26th of November 2002, but instead of finding refuge here I have been drowning in problems; since I came to this country and presented myself to immigration as an asylum-seeker, I have suffered the evils that I was trying to forget yet again. I have been held in detention since the 29th August 2003. Because I know my situation is very dangerous in Cameroon, and I know how failed asylum seekers who are deported to Cameroon are treated, I resisted deportation." Charles Pouaha

This will be the sixth attempt to remove Charles.
Charles has been fighting for two and half years for the right to asylum in Britain. Charles survived detention & torture in Cameroon only to have his case for asylum refused at every turn, despite all the evidence he has provided of what happened to him and how much he is at risk if he is returned.
