IOM Unwelcome in Birmingham
Indymedia UK - 15 Jul 2008
The International Organisation against Migration, aka the International Organisation for Migration or IOM, held a ‘conference’ in Birmingham last month in preparation for opening a new regional office in the city. A handful of local activists did a banner drop at the four-star hotel where the event was held to unwelcome dodgy organisation. They also gave out leaflets to the delegates to tell them the truth about IOM, whose real mission is to help Western governments ‘manage migration’ and meet their deportation quotas.Reports: IOM Unwelcomed in Birmingham | IOM’s new Birmingham office | Inside the IOM Birmingham conference | IOM Bribing Asylum Seekers to Return Home | The So-Called Voluntary ReturnRelated: Shadowy deportation organisation opens office in London | New Home Office Scheme Against Asylum Seekers in Glasgow | IOM Picket in Bristol | No Platform for the IOM (Bristol) | No Border’s IOM page
