Hello all -
It may be the end of the academic aear but it's not the end of Refugee Week!
Tomorrow (Saturday) you can get FREE cakes and drinks by just dropping into Bonn Square. Find STAR in New Road Baptist Church from 11 til 2, where you can hang out, listen to music, have a cuppa and find out more about refugee and asylum issues by just having a friendly chat.
Then head over to the Ultimate Picture Palace in Cowley at 4pm to watch 'Grow Your Own' This comedy centres around a group of gardeners at a Merseyside allotment, who react angrily when a group of refugees are given plots at the site, but after they get to know them better, soon change their minds.
And on Sunday at 4pm, Ultimate Picture Palace will be showing Ken Loach's 'It's a free world'.
Hope to see you there to celebrate Refugee Week 2009!
STAR xxx

Oppose the Campsfield Detention centre and the building of Bullingdon Removal Centre.
-------------------------------------------------------
Over 3,000 immigrants are indefinitely detained in the UK at any one time. Having claimed asylum in this country men, women and children are locked up while the government deal with their claim. This process can take months, or even years. They are often treated badly, and suffer from mental health problems, not knowing when they will be released. A recent study highlighted the case of one man who had been shuffled around UK detention centres for 8 years. His only 'crime' was arriving here without the correct documentation. These people do not have a voice in the UK.
20 minutes from Oxford, in Kidlington Campsfield Detention Centre holds 200 innocents. The government has plans to build another detention centre in Bicester. This will hold 800 people, and will be the biggest in Europe.
Stop this happening. Come and write to your MP!
