Close Down Campsfield Immigration Prison

Campsfield is the UK’s biggest Immigration Prison, run for profit by Group 4. 200 people are held there behind a twenty-foot high, razor wire topped fence. Campsfield operates as a high security prison. 27th November is the 6th anniversary of the opening of Campsfield, so there’s a big demo. It will be a celebration of diversity, with music, dancers, street theatre and colour from different cultures, to say that refugees are welcome here! Many of the people locked inside Campsfield have seen nothing of the UK but airports, cells and Group 4 vans. They are constantly told they are not welcome, that people here don’t want them. Many are worn down to accept voluntary deportation. To hear people on the outside on their side makes a real difference.

So bring music, colour, decorations, imagination and messages of hope! Meet 11:20am on St Giles (Corner with Beaumont St, postcode OX1). Bring transport(and help give people lifts!) or £2 for the bus. Demo starts 12 noon, front gate, Campsfield House.

How To Get There:

By Car: From London leave the M40 at Exit 9, onto the A34 towards Kidlington. Come off to join the A44 North towards Woodstock. (From Oxford leave the Ring Road at the A44) Turn right for Oxford Airport, and right again at the sign for Campsfield House.
