17-11-2007 20:46
Saturday's demonstration in support of asylum rights saw up to 50 people join in a militant and noisy march from Whitworth Park through Rusholme up Dickenson Road past Longsight Market ending with a rally outside Slade Lane Neighbourhood Centre. There were banners from North West Asylum Seekers Defence Group, British Libya Solidarity Campaign and Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! The march was also supported by members of the International Organisation of Iranian Refugees and the Anarchist Federation with food provided at the end rally by Manchester Food not Bombs.Iranian asylum seeker, Omid Karimi, speaks out against racist police and asylum
17-11-2007 20:43
Omid Karimi is a Kurdish asylum seeker from Iran. The Kurds are an oppressed minority in Iran. Britain deported 315 Iranians between January and June 2007. Thousands of asylum seekers are left to rot, slowly starving to death on electronic vouchers; many are not allowed to work. Many are forced to live in appalling conditions including in the worst housing, while the British Home Office's NASS-contracted accommodation providers like M&Q, make huge profits every year.The following is a letter sent to NWASDG from Omid Karimi after he was arrested one night after an argument with one of the four people squeezed into a 1-bedroom house in Longsight, a suburb of Manchester. Under these conditions conflict is inevitable. The ultimate responsibility lies with the racist British Labour government whose racist asylum laws oppress asylum seekers, disperse them to areas where they have no social support and forces them into poverty, destitution and homelessness. - NWASDG
