(The following text was distributed at the student picket outside the police headquarters today by people from Athens’ Haunt of Albanian Migrants.

Britain's Youngest Prisoners - Christmas Appeal 2008
15-12-2008 14:38
No Children in Detention this Festive SeasonDear Home Secretary as a Campaigner for Britain's Youngest Prisoners, I know that our paths are bound to cross from to time, but I should hope that at this time of the year we can put our differences aside and call a truce, on behalf of those foreign national children who are unwanted by the UK and that you intend to deport. I am appealing to you directly for a moratorium on the detention/deportation of foreign national children and their families until the new year and that there should be no children in detention this Christmas.

12-12-2008 08:41
Please be clear the decision in 'Dawit Tekle v SSHD' though it holds that a blanket denial of the right to work for those caught in the 'Legacy Backlog' is 'Unlawful'', does not give permission to work. The government could comply with the High Court directive but change the policy to get round the objections of the court and continue a blanket ban.In Age of Migration, Human Rights Declaration Falls Short
11-12-2008 19:40
New America Media, Commentary, Joseph Nevins, Posted: Dec 10, 2008Editor’s Note: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights actually has helped legitimate the right of countries to regulate immigration. This is because the declaration, written before the age of mass migration, protects the right of exit from a country but does not affirm a right of entry. Joseph Nevins is an associate professor of geography at Vassar College. His latest book is "Dying to Live: A Story of U.S. Immigration in an Age of Global Apartheid" (City Lights Books, 2008). IMMIGRATION MATTERS regularly features the views of immigrant rights advocates.
