Hundreds In England Protest Detention Camp

Hundreds of people gathered yesterday outside the Manston detention camp in Kent, England.

The site is a former military base which has been re-purposed to detain refugees and migrants in tents.

The protest was organised by Action Against Detention and Deportation, which is a coalition of organisations, including SOAS Detainee Support, Global Women Against Deportations, Global Justice Now and others, mobilising in opposition to harsh measures taken by the British government against refugees and migrants.
