The UK is the only country in western Europe which practises indefinite immigration detention: people can be locked up in Pr*son-like conditions for months and years when their only offence is to be a migrant.

Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group [GDWG] has supported people detained on the perimeter road of Gatwick Airport for almost 30 years. Refugee Tales is a project which has published 5 volumes of their stories to inform the world of this inhumane policy and walks regularly to call for its end.

We are raising funds for GDWG.

Tickets £10, click the link for tickets.

Doors open 2.30 p.m.
