Update on Iranian asylum seeker arrested at Lunar House yesterday

The man arrested yesterday at Lunar House near a No Borders demonstration was detained at Croydon police station overnight and went before the Magistrates Court this morning. Legal support at the No Borders Camp arranged for a lawyer to represent him, and prisoner support sent 2 rep's to attend the court hearing. Unfortunately the man, who is clearly in a distressed state, was remanded until a court hearing next week.Cops target independent journalists on Noborder march

An independent videographer was arrested on the Noborders march today at 12:45. From preliminary reports, it appears that the arrest occurred when he filmed cops who were policing the march (not a crime) and then refused to give his details when asked to do so. It is unclear to us why anyone should be required to provide his name and address when filming the police. The arrest occurred under Section 50 of the Police Reform Act, a recent piece of legislation allowing police to arrest someone who doesn't give details when suspected of anti-social behaviour, so perhaps filming cops is an anti-social activity.No Border campaigners to march from Crawley-Gatwick against immigration prisons

Anti-deportation campaigners today 'paid a visit' to Virgin Holidays, Richard Branson's Tour Operator business in Crawley town centre in protest at Virgin's involvement in forced deportations of rejected asylum seekers to unsafe countries. The Home Office regularly books seats on Virgin Atlantic flights to countries such as Nigeria to forcibly remove people from the UK.
