Another Asylum Seeker Driven to Suicide

Nadir Zarebee from Iran hanged himself in a Manchester park on Tuesday 5 August after being asked to leave his home in Trafford by Home Office's NASS-appointed 'accommodation provider' MNQ.

An emergency demo in Manchester was called last Saturday 9th August by the International Organisation of Iranian Refugees (IOIR), supported by the North West Asylum Seekers Defence Group (NWASDG), and Manchester Revolutionary Communist Group/Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! (FRFI) Anti-racists, refugees and supporters assembled in Piccadilly Gardens then march to the BBC who censor the racist treatment and brutal human rights abuses of migrants and refugees.

The march has the following demands:

No to deportations!
Stop starving asylum seekers!
No immigration controls!
For the right to work
No to destitution!
