Asylum seekers take stand against destitution during refugee week

17-06-2005 13:05

SECOND SLEEP-OUT IN CATHEDRAL GROUNDS

During last year’s refugee week over 40 people, most of them asylum seekers and refugees, took part in an all-night sleep-out in the grounds of St. Philips Cathedral in protest at the unfair treatment of asylum seekers in Birmingham and throughout the UK.

Organised by Birmingham's Anti-racist Campaign (ARC), the sleep-out was aimed at raising public awareness about the destitution and homelessness thousands of asylum seekers face in the UK because of the government’s immigration policies.

A year later the position is worse, and shows no signs of improving. That is why ARC is organising ASYLUM SLEEP-OUT 2 in the cathedral grounds during refugee week.

CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES LURE AFRICAN CHILDREN TO LONDON FOR HUMAN SACRIFICES

16-06-2005 18:20

A 10-month Scotland Yard study has documented ongoing Christian human child sacrifices in London, and a Christian theologian Dr. Richard Hoskins of Kings College acknowledges that this is true but asks that it be dealt with "sensitively". Contrast this demand for sensitivity with the everyday psychotic mistreatment of Muslims over "issues" like polygamy.

Detained and threatened with deportation

29-05-2005 10:36

As a Zimbabwean detainee who fled for fear of persecution in my home country I find the situation so stressfull. If you could tell me the difference between Zimbabwe and Britain I would be glad to know because at present Britain is also breaking its human rights, locking innocent people up in detention centres, deporting them back to Zimbabwe to the same ruling government they fled from.

Protest against the slave labour of failed asylum seekers

25-05-2005 23:21

Merseyside Asylum Rights Campaign got together with other activists outside Millennium House, Liverpool on Tuesday 24th May, to protest about the Home Office and YMCA negotiations and plans for a forced labour scheme for failed asylum seekers.

The Home Office and YMCA are pledging that this scheme will be under section 10 of the Asylum & Immigration Act 1999.

The demonstration was small but effective. The 8 protestors stood their ground outside Millennium House (Liverpool City Council building) and were joined in solidarity by those invited to the meeting on their way in and out of the meeting and by those few who ’gate crashed’ - Councillors!
