Solidarity with Yarl's Wood Hunger Strikers
Demo at Serco Offices - Friday 19th February 2010 - 2.30pm at 18-22 Hand Court, Holborn London WC1V 6JF
Over 50 women have been on hunger strike at Yarls Wood Immigration Prison near Bedford since Friday 5th February, demanding their immediate release from indefinite detention.
Serco, the company that runs Yarl's Wood on behalf of the UK Border Agency, has tried to brutally repress the hunger strike, most notably on Monday 8th February when Serco guards locked the hunger strikers in a corridor for 8 hours without access to water or toilet facilities.
London NoBorders calls for the immediate release of the hunger strikers and an end to immigration prisons and is calling for a demo in solidarity with the hungers strikers this Friday at 2.30pm outside
Serco's offices at 18-22 Hand Court (off High Holborn), London, WC1V 6JF. Please bring banners and instruments.
