London, UK. 7th May, 2016. Protesters at Europe's largest detention centre complex at Heathrow, two Category B prisons, Colnbrook & Harmondsworth, managed by private security company MITIE, call for all immigration prisons to be shut, and the racist scapegoating of immigrants to end. They ran past security guards between the two prisons and were able to communicate with prisoners inside before being forced back to the front of the prisons. Some hold a banner 'Close Detention Centres Open Borders' in English, French and Arabic. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
