IOM's new Birmingham office

03-07-2008 01:07

IOM's newsletter announcing the new office(s)
After a prestigious conference last week (see  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2008/06/401910.html), the International Organisation against Migrants, aka the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), has opened a new office in Birmingham (details below). The intergovernmental agency is apparently growing bigger and more 'efficient' as the government is stepping up its deportation plans. In addition to its UK head office in London, IOM has offices Bristol, Glasgow and Liverpool, and has recently open a new office in Leeds. It is further planning to open two new sub-offices, one is known to be in Peterborough.

Let's tell them they are not welcome here, in Birmingham, or anywhere else!

Indipendent journalist detained on way to g8 protest

01-07-2008 13:37

Last night (June 27), three Hong Kong citizen journalists who have
been registered with the Citizens' Media Center (Sapporo) were
detained by Immigration, and were on the verge of being deported.
This morning, Susan George (ATTAC France) was stopped and questioned
at the airport. Ms George is 74 years old, and her detention
demonstrates a lack of humanity on the part of authorities.

The Natalie Bracht story, the plot thickens

01-07-2008 12:19

This story has been running in the mainstream media, both local and national press, since mother of five Natalie Bracht, left her home in Sunderland on 17th May this year and went on the run.

She told local papers and social services that she had fled her home city of Dusseldorf to escape a dangerous husband involved in a religious cult. She was provided with housing and benefits etc but whether the authorities believed this story or not is unclear. What we do know is that Childrens Services were involved in the case from the beginning.
