Migrant groups to take direct action on Yarl’s Wood

Activists said they would take action ahead of a September debate in Parliament on jails.

Movement for Justice, which organised a hundreds-strong protest at the centre last weekend, said it would stage more direct action in solidarity with the women banged up inside.
