Bedford, UK. 10th September, 2016. Hundreds of protester braved persistent rain to stand for several hours in a protest organised by Movement for Justice waving and shouting support to the women asylum seekers held indefinitely inside Yarl's Wood, who responded enthusiastically by shouting and waving back from the prison blocks behind the high fence, hindered by windows that hardly open. There were a number of speeches, relayed to the protesters and those inside by a sound system, by people who had been held, some for a year or more, inside this and other immigration prisons. © Peter Marshal
Bedford, UK. 10th September, 2016. Hundreds of protester braved persistent rain to stand for several hours in a protest organised by Movement for Justice waving and shouting support to the women asylum seekers held indefinitely inside Yarl's Wood, who responded enthusiastically by shouting and waving back from the prison blocks behind the high fence, hindered by windows that hardly open. There were a number of speeches, relayed to the protesters and those inside by a sound system, by people who had been held, some for a year or more, inside this and other immigration prisons. Several detainees were also able to speak using mobile phones, some telling how Serco security guards had prevented them from coming to the windows and were threatening those who greeted the protesters with solitary confinement, and Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
