For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Border Country

By Melanie Friend

Exhibition & book launch event at Belfast Exposed Gallery of Photography, Thursday 15 November, 7 – 9pm

Belfast Exposed’s latest exhibition, Border Country by Melanie Friend opens this Thursday evening in the gallery in Donegall Street. (see attached)

Melanie Friend spent four years documenting the physical structures of UK Immigrant Removal Centres (IRC), while recording the voices of detainees. She will make a short presentation about her work at the opening on Thursday evening:

‘By August 2003 I had negotiated access with the Home Office and the Governor of Dover… over three years I interviewed nine detainees… however transfers from and to IRCs across the country can happen suddenly as can removals… I listened to Afsham’s story of flight from persecution, and of her fear of punishment from Sharia law, I felt the immense gulf between her life and mine.’

Anna Morven, Immigration Advisor at the Law Centre and Chair of Northern Ireland’s Refugee Action Group will open the exhibition and talk about her experience as legal officer of the charity, Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID).

‘In Northern Ireland, immigration detainees were held in prisons here until a recent policy change. It is now the practice of the Border and Immigration Agency that people are moved from Northern Ireland to Scotland or England where they are detained in Immigration Removal Centres… Immigration detention is an administrative power. It is not sanctioned by any court and there is no maximum time limit on detention. Every detainee has the right to apply for bail. Yet a vast number of immigration detainees have no lawyer who is willing to assist them to challenge their detention’ Anna Morven

Melanie Friend will be in Belfast until the16th of November and available for interviews to discuss her four year investigative project into immigration, detention centres and asylum seekers in the UK.
