#HungerForFreedom Day of Action: Wednesday 21st March

News

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.
