When: September 11, 2015

Join us for a workshop at 11:30 AM and discussion followed by a creative action as part of the week-long Stop the Arms Fair campaign outside the Excel centre, East London. 

Speakers: 

  • Rita Chadha (Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London) about the refugee detention regime in the UK

  • Speakers with personal experience of the asylum process in the UK (names tbc)
