Sat 19 Nov: Picket Brand St, Glasgow

Saturday 19th November: National Day of Action against deportation of children

This Saturday is a national day of action against deportations of children and young people, with demonstrations in London and Manchester, and a picket of the Immigration Reporting Centre in Glasgow
National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns

Glasgow: Picket Brand Street, Saturday 19 Nov, 10am – 12 noon
Brand Street in Govan is one of the centres from which families are disappeared. People go in to sign on, and some leave handcuffed in a van, taken to one of Britain's immigrant prisons like Dungavel, before being deported.

Support requested
Come along to Brand Street this Saturday to support the regular picket, to show solidarity with the many asylum seekers who are forced to sign on at the reporting Centre every week, with the demonstrations in Manchester and London, and with all people in Britain living in fear of deportation. This small weekly picket has seen increased intimidation from security guards and police in recent weeks, and support has been requested.

Please lend your support for a couple of hours this Saturday, between 10am – 12 noon.

Stop deportations
Between 1 April and 30 September 2005, the Immigration Service carried out 112 dawn raids in Glasgow. That’s more than 4 every week. And it doesn’t include those disappeared from Brand Street. Resistance is building.

Keep up the pressure, come to the picket, spread the word.
