Campsfield Detention Centre

The first demo at Campsfield happened even as the first detainees were brought there. From 29 Jan 1994 there has been a demo outside Canpsfield on the last Saturday of every month to this day. On 26 Mar 1994 demonstrators climbed the fence, reached the roof and stayed 12 hours. On 4 June 1994 600 people demonstrated there. Meanwhile the detainees themselves had done hunger strikes and rooftop protests and two had married centre staff members. A camp was set up again on 26 May 2001 and raided by police on 11 June 2001 looking for evidence of graffiti materials
