Close Campsfield

A ‘No Borders Close Campsfield’ site was set up in a field behind Campsfield Detention Centre, Oxfordshire. For three and a half weeks in June, people camped out to make a stand against racist immigration policies. Campsfield House, built like a prison and run by Group 4, has been open for seven and a half years and imprisons up to 200 people behind reinforced welded fences and razor wire. Many of those detained are political refugees. Actions included an incursion into the neighbouring prison complex, a brief roof occupation and redecoration of inside walls with ‘Freedom’ and ‘Close Down Campsfield’. Contact was made with those inside aswell as visitors to the detention centre. Police raided the camp looking for spray cans and bolt croppers and arrests were made for obstructing Group 4 shift changes. 0781 355 2570.
