Over 100 people show up on the steps of SOAS

Workers and students gathered outside SOAS for a solidarity meeting to discuss a response to the dawn raid by immigration pigs. Some of the detained workers are held at Communications House by Old Street Roundabout and a group of supporters have gone up there this afternoon to try and make contact with those detained. Other cleaners are being held at Borough Police Station.

Some more information:

Amongst the workers being detained is a women who is 6 months pregnant.

The cleaning manager of ISS at SOAS called the workers to a meeting during their shift at 7.30am. They were ambushed by immigration pigs and then forcefully detained,

What we can gather is that this operation has been orchestrated by ISS and the BIA -- they should be targetted for this act by any means neccesary.

Solidarity with the cleaners.
