London, UK. 8th March 2018. Protesters hold a banner calling for Yarl's Wood to be shut down at the protest at the Home Office to show solidarity with those held in Yarls Wood, who began a hunger strike 15 days ago against their imprisonment and the conditions and treatment by the detention centre staff and the Home Office. Since then this has gathered momentum and escalated into an all-out strike: work strikes, occupations, and a general refusal to co-operate, and long lists of the detainees demands have been published by Detained Voices.

London, UK. 8th March 2018. Protesters hold a banner calling for Yarl's Wood to be shut down at the protest at the Home Office to show solidarity with those held in Yarls Wood, who began a hunger strike 15 days ago against their imprisonment and the conditions and treatment by the detention centre staff and the Home Office. Since then this has gathered momentum and escalated into an all-out strike: work strikes, occupations, and a general refusal to co-operate, and long lists of the detainees demands have been published by Detained Voices. So far the Home Office has issued denials that the action is taking place and has sent those taking part letters threatening them with accelerated deportation because of their actions. The protesters call for an end to all immigration detention. Hundreds of people including some at this protest were fasting today for International Women's Day in solidarity with those inside Yarl's Wood. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
