Shut Down Yarls Wood 12
Yarl's Wood, Bedford. Sat 18 Nov 2017
As we near Yarls Wood we can hear the women inside who have seen the
banners in the distance
shouting in greeting
We turn on to the final stretch of footpath
and are soon at the fence with graffiti from a previous protest 'nobody
forgotten, nothing forgiven...'
'F**k the Police'
Kicking the fence makes a very satsifying noise
or you can hit it...
Standing a short distance back people and messages can be seen by
those at the top floor windows of the prison
and all those who can get to a window can see the flowers people are
putting on the top half of the fence
'Shut Down ALL Detention Centres NOW'
Higher up on the hill someone sets off a smoke flare
and others stand holding posters
A member of Yarl's Wood staff looks out
and from other windows women wave and hold messages 'SOS Plz' , '5
Months In No End in sight'
'We Need Freedom', 'We just no visa not criminal', 'Release Us'...
