WHEN HUNGER STRIKES

The hunger strike at Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre has carried on into its 3rd week as 20 female detainees continue to refuse food (See SchNEWS 710).

Four of the strikers remain in HMP Holloway prison, held without charge. Solidarity demos outside Serco’s head office and at HMP Holloway have taken place this week, as well as a 2 day hunger strike in Bradford and a 24hr fast by No Borders activists.

More action is planned for outside the Serco offices today (26th).
