HARMONDSWORTH, ONE YEAR AFTER THE UPRISING
In November 2006 detainees at Harmondsworth immigration detention centre protested against conditions inside the centre and their treatment by the guards. The centre was damaged and the detainees were moved to other detention centres and prisons.
After being adjourned for a week, their trial started on 14 January 2008 at Southwark Crown Court, London

On Saturday we will march from Crawley town centre (Memorial Gardens, next to the railway station, starting at 12pm) to Tinsley House Detention Centre, next to the site of the planned Brook House. Resistance, both inside and outside these prisons, has been getting stronger and stronger. Hunger strikes, demos, riots and pickets have become a common occurrence. But obviously not enough is being done as thousands of people continue to suffer in their cells. read more >> |

Everyday of our lives we are confronted with rigid ideas of gender and sexuality and thus our 'appropriate' roles in society. Anyone who does not conform is seen as 'other' or 'strange' or even 'dangerous'. In a society that always attempts to mark someone as 'other' (by race/sexuality/gender or any other means) we refuse to accept this present condition of nations and borders, the containment of people behind false divides that serves only to profit those in power.

Wars are creating poverty all over the global south. Refugees come to Europe – to escape these conflicts; to escape persecution, often because they spoke out against these injustices. Yet people who flee poverty, war and injustice throughout the world are deemed illegal. These wars will never stop whilst weapon sales are a booming capitalist business, whilst western governments support these conflicts.
