Kurdistan Regional Government Office at 12:00 pm
On the 25th February more than 100 people who have been deported from the UK and other European countries to the Kurdistan region of Iraq will demonstrate in front of the Kurdistan Regional Government to demand the government stop accepting deportations from Europe and organise compensation packages and employment for the deportees.
The International Federation of Iraqi Refugees, which most of the deportees are members of, has called a demonstration in solidarity outside the offices of the Kurdistan Regional Government.
The demonstration comes as organisations and individuals, including MPs and the biggest trade union in the UK, have sent letters to the KRG and the Iraqi Governments to demand they stop accepting deportations. We are calling on the KRG to end its collusion with the British Home Office in deporting people from the UK against their will.
Meet at Edgware Road, Chapel Street exit at 11.45
Called by: International Federation of Iraqi Refugees, Coalition to Stop Deportations to Iraq
Hosted by the SOAS Detainee Support Group,

'Immigration Detention and the Right to Liberty' Details.
January 25th, 26th and 27th: trial of the revolt that set the detention centre of Vincennes on fire. The revolt, which led to the fire that destroyed the largest prison for foreigners in France, is a concrete and historical response to the existence of detention centres and to the whole of the policy of control of the migratory flows. Migrant To Migrant Radio.
Come hear how despite being: isolated, denied access to dependable lawyers, subjected to slave labour and negligent healthcare, abused and assaulted during deportations, and terrorised by the threat of being sent back, women continue to organise creatively in defence of themselves and their children.
