- Motion text
On 8 April 2009, armed police carried out a number of raids in the NW of England and arrested 12 students as terrorist suspects.
After intense interrogation not a shred of evidence could be found against them. By the third week of May Manchester police conceded that they were innocent. However, ten were immediately detained under immigration detention provisions.
They are now being moved from prison to prison, some being moved every night.
Recently Justice for North West 10 campaign has been formed.
Congress agrees to:
1. Demand the ten students are released immediately and allowed to complete their education
2. Support the Justice for North West 10 campaign
3. Write to the Home Secretary demanding the deportation is stopped and released.
