No Angel at Celebrating Sanctuary this year

Burst The Angel Group's bubble and expose the Asylum Profiteers

The Angel Group, the UK's biggest private asylum accommodation provider, has apparently pulled out of sponsoring this year's Celebrating Sanctuary, Corporate Watch has learnt. The 'festival' is Birmingham's version of the national Refugee Week, which is celebrated between 14th and 20th June. Since 2001, Angel had been one of the main sponsors of the event until campaigners started to protest about Celebrating Sanctuary being funded by 'such dodgy asylum profiteers'.

As a local, a democrat, and on the left politically, I was intrigued to find out more. I spoke to one of their representatives to determine what was wrong with the UK, and why he thought Islamic rule was the correct prescription. A report for UK Indymedia.

Tariq Hamid Majid must stay!

Tariq Hamid Majid is the lead singer of the Daholl Kurdish Foundation, who will be performing at next Saturday afternoon's Refugee Week event in Birmingham's Chamberlain Square. His claim for asylum has been refused by the Home office on the demonstrably untrue grounds that it is not believed that he is a professional singer and that, even if that were the case, there is no evidence to suggest that singers are at risk of persecution in Iraq.
