Bedford, UK. 3rd December 2016. A woman up a ladder against the security fence waves at those inside who wave back and hold up notices at the protest organised here by Movement for Justice calling for the closure of Yarl's Wood and all immigration detention centres. Several women inside spoke to the protesters on mobile phones, including one woman held there for over 2 years. All thanked the protesters and told of assaults and abuse by Serco security guards who today had locked many in other wings to stop them seeing the protest and threatened those who greeted the protesters and revealed there were cases of TB in the prison. Many of those who spoke at the protest had previously been held inside this and other immigration prisons, and encouraged those inside to keep fighting for justice. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
