2MOVE: Ireland - Public Discussion Event
27 May, 2008
27 May, 6pm, Black Box Cafe, 18-22 Hill Street, Belfast.
The government has set out its agenda of strengthening the border and boasts that someone is deported from the UK every eight minutes. Belfast has recently witnessed and protested the unjust reality of the deportation of asylum-seekers which have a devastating effect on individual lives and communities alike.
