The proposed expansion of Campsfield will face a public inquiry starting 6 October, lasting up to 5 sitting days. The Home Office’s plans can now face detailed public scrutiny: evidence can be challenged, witnesses questioned, and individuals and organisations can ask to take part. Here’s how 👇

Please support @closecampsfield.bsky.social's call to object - however briefly - to the expansion of Campsfield detention centre. More detention spaces = more suffering, more families torn apart, more lives ruined. We have until FRIDAY to do this --> click on the link below to object now 👇

"Oxford Student Action for Refugees (...) has been part of the coalition campaigning to shut Campsfield immigration detention centre (...). A recent investigation (...) revealed [Oxford U]niversity’s links with Mitie, the contractor that won a £170m government contract to run the Campsfield centre."

UK universities are bankrolling the border industry. 13 universities have committed to divestment, but the vast majority remain complicit in growing cruelty towards migrants. Delaying divestment will only deepen the many crises facing British higher education www.opendemocracy.net/uk-universit...

🧵Take action: Stop the expansion of Campsfield! 🪧🚨 1. The Home Office is pushing to expand Campsfield IRC, from 160 to 400 bed spaces. This is being done through the Crown Development Route, a planning system that delegates the decision to the Planning Inspectorate, bypassing the local authority.

As Campsfield detention centre reopens tomorrow in #Oxfordshire, many of us feel heavy-hearted. But for all who may be detained there, we will keep going — and strengthen our efforts to #CloseCampsfield and #EndDetention. Join the protests: 4pm Campsfield • 6pm Carfax #TheseWallsMustFall
