WE ARE NOT BORDER AGENTS. CAMPAIGN AGAINST NEW IMMIGRATION RULES
Following our public meeting at the beginning of December (entitled
'Freedom of Thought, Freedom of Movement'), we are having an
organising meeting to build the campaign against the Points-Based
System for Immigration. Join us and bring your ideas for actions and
events so we can build awareness and opposition to the new immigration
rules. All welcome.
Why are we opposing the Points Based System for Immigration?
The new 'points based' immigration rules represent a serious threat to
campus democracy and freedom of speech. They require non-EU students
and staff to have biometric ID cards, involve demands on the financial
background of applicants and mean that staff are obliged to report
students to the UK Border Agency when they have not attended
regularly.
We feel these rules are unwarranted, undemocratic and unfair. We feel
they destroy the relationship of trust between staff and students,
represent a threat to academic freedom, are discriminatory and shut
down international dialogue and exchange.
We welcome the involvement of civil liberties, migration rights and
anti-surveillance campaigners.
