[Stuart Hodkinson]

Yes, folks, it's finally upon us:

LEEDS NO BORDERS PRESENTS...

SATURDAY 6 MAY (12pm midday): GUIDED TOUR OF LEEDS ASYLUM SHAME

Come to Leeds to visit the places, companies and people that repress, 
exploit and benefit from asylum seekers in Leeds.

A guided tour of the causes of refugee flows (War, Militarism, 
Capitalist Globalisation), the detention and control of asylum seekers 
(police, security firms), the destitution of migrants (job centres, 
social welfare, housing, health), the injustice of immigration laws 
(immigration office) and the deportation of failed asylum seekers 
(airlines).

You will get a very beautiful map of the 'other' Leeds from the 
perspective of the asylum seeker.
