controls by publicly campaigning against government policy, even though some of them face victimisation.
Members of the Ivorian Action Group, most of whom have asylum applications pending, demonstrated twice in five days outside campsfield Immigration Detention centre at Kidlington, Oxford. They were supporting the demands of two Ivorian detainees for the right to asylum.
Sita Kamara and Anna Marie Saunan started their hunger strike on 8-9 February. Sita was detained last July when she was 17, Anna Marie in September. Sita was active in the Ivorian student movement, SESCI, and in consequence was assaulted by three government thugs.
On Monday 27, Sita was told she'd be deported in the morning. In desperation, she ate soap and Calamine lotion. This stopped the removal. She was, however, removed to the Bee Hive holding centre at Gatwick Airport on Thursday in preparation for her removal.
At the same time, six to eight other detainees who protested at her removal and their own detention were removed to various prisons. One common space room had been wrecked in the protests. Early on Wednesday, Graup Four carried in sackloads onstration was called by IRAG and supported by the new Students Against Campsfield group set up at Oxford University following a student meeting addressed by local campaigners, Nigerian refugee Andrew Adelekun and Jeremy Corbyn MP.
The determined resistance of the detainees and the supporting action of campaigners outside the 20 foot razor-wire topped fence are a powerful response to recent government race-hate mongering moves. These have included Charles Wardle's resignation in order to lead off on further attacks on refugees and migrants; Home Secretary Michael Howard's announcement that 50 extra Immigration and nationality Department employees would be hired; and the DSS rule denying migrant workers their benefit payments.
The Campaign To Close Campsfield has proposed 27 May be a national Day of Action at detention centres and prisons holding immigration detainees around the country. • Next 'Last Saturday' march at noon, 27 March. Contact IRAG c/o Greenwich CRE, 115 Powis Street, Woolwich SE18 6JL or CTCC c/o 111 Magdelen Road Oxford. Tel: (01865) 724452, 726804 or 722357. They hurt.
