Shut Down Yarl's Wood 14

Yarl's Wood immigration prison, Bedford. Sat 21 Jul 2018



 

 

 

 Most who spoke had been prisoners inside Yarl's Wood or other detention centres

 

 and a phone link liet some of the women inside speak so we could all hear them

 

 

 

 

 People stood well back on the hill to get a view over the solid part of the fence

 

 and the speakers stood on a ladder so they could be seen by some of those inside, as well as heard

 Though the higher ladders wobbled a bit. Mabel was able to speak to many she had known during her three years inside
     
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Karen from Movememnt for Justice speaking

 

 

 Between speeches both those outside and those inside made a lot of noise

 

 

 Another former detainee speaks.

 

 Men who spoke had mainly been in other detention prisons

 Antonia from Mfj speaks

 

 A former detainee speaks to some of her friends inside

 

 

It was hot in the sun and I got tired. The protest was still continuing as I got on my bike to ride back to Bedford station.
