Quakers up and down the country supported people in the Yarl’s Wood immigration detention centre last week by joining a ‘freedom fast’.

More than five hundred protestors, including Caroline Lucas MP, the Green Party co-leader, took part in the fast on International Woman’s Day on 8 March to support demands made by the detainees.
