Bedford, UK. 24th March 2018. Movement for Justice supporters meet for their 13th protest at Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre, calling for all immigration detention centres to be closed down,Hundreds of anti-racists came from across the country to show their solidarity with the women held inside, making a huge noise kicking on the fence, shouting slogans and with speeches, mainly by former detainees from Yarl's Wood and elsewhere, on the MfJ's powerful public address system. Speaking from a step-ladder next to the tall fence they were able to be seen as well as heard by the women who crowded around windows facing the protest. Other groups including Sisters Uncut were for the first time separately organising for the protest following revelations about the mistreatment of former MfJ activists. The other groups mainly protested separately a little further along the fence. The protesters could also clearly hear the voices of the women as they shouted together with them, and a several spoke from inside over phone links as well as holding posters calling for freedom and justice to their windows and waving clothing, mainly bras; some of the protesters waved bras back to them.
