5Points of Disappearance! - *'Short term holding centres'


The use of unlawful force against immigration detainees
7  UK Demos Saturday 2nd April European Wide Day of Action

"On Saturday 2nd April 2005, tens of thousands of people across Europe will stand against racism and Fortress Europe and for the rights of economic migrants and asylum seekers; for freedom of movement; for citizenship of residence and the closing of detention centres against the deportation of failed asylum seekers and economic migrants.

The demand for freedom of movement encompasses different struggles of migration taking place every day throughout Europe: struggles for housing and legalization, struggles against racism and camps, struggles in the workplace, the struggles of women and men to free themselves from patriarchy, racism, homophobia in their country of origin but also of their country of arrival.
