Protests against illegal migration bill held across the UK

Protests have taken place this weekend in Glasgow, London and Cardiff

Demonstrators carrying signs and banners – some reading “no human is illegal” – have marched against the government’s illegal migration bill in cities across the United Kingdom today.

The bill, recently introduced by the home secretary, Suella Braverman, targets refugees who arrive in the United Kingdom by unorthodox means making their asylum claims inadmissible.

Organisers, including Stand Up To Racism and the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC), have claimed thousands attended the various events. Protests were also held in Glasgow and Cardiff against racism, Islamophobia, anti-semitism, fascism and the far right.
