Shut down Yarl's Wood Immigration Prison
Yarl's Wood, Bedford. Sat 13 May 2017
#Setherfree - People on the roadside where the coaches drop them -
around 3/4 mile from the prison
A man speaks about his experiences with the UK's unfair immigration
system
There were a number of speeches and chanting of slogans as we waited
for more coaches to arrive
Antonia Bright of Movement for Justice
and a few of those in the crowd
Eventually it was time to start marching to Yarls Wood 'Dignity Not
Detention' banner
'Sisters in Arms - No Borders No Limits'
People march down the footpath from the road
'Smash All Borders'
'Whoever Lives Here Is From Here'
A quarter of an hour later people reach the prison fence - and start
making a lot of noise
Some stand higher up in the field and lift their posters so those
at the windows inside Yarls WOod can see them
'Brexit is Racist - STOP Brexit'
'Superman is a Refugee'
Focus E15 members had come to support the protest
'No Human is illegal'
'nobody forgotten, nothing forgiven'
'Theresa May is not a feminist'
