This Wednesday 21st March will mark one full month since people inside Yarl’s Wood began their strike actions.
On 21st February, 120 people detained at Yarl’s Wood detention centre in Bedfordshire started a hunger strike. Since then, strikers have been refusing food, refusing to work, and refusing to use services inside detention, with a list of demands against the detention system. Read the demands here. There have been actions in support of the strikers in London, across the UK, and internationally. Now, as part of a national Day of Action, events are taking place in various cities across the UK (we will update this page as new events are announced. Please get in touch if you have an event you want to add):
