'Refusal Factory': Women's experiences of the detained 'fast track' asylum process at Yarl's Wood IRC
Launch of new research by Bail for Immigration Detainees & discussion about fast track
6.30pm - 8pm
Lecture Hall
Toynbee Hall
28 Commercial St
London E1 6LS
(nearest tube Aldgate East)
"Fast track is just a system to refuse people. There is no time to listen to you. Even the judge didn't listen. When they put you in fast track there is [only] a very small chance to get out. I never heard [of] one person who won a fast track case in one year. How can everyone be lying?"
N, detained for eleven months
"If someone is tortured and raped, it's really not easy. It's very difficult to be put on fast track because you are more stressed and been through a lotŠ.You can't sleep, you are worried, you are scared, you know nothing, you have no help, you know no one, you don't know UK rights."
M, detained for five months
Since May 2005, women who claim asylum in the UK can be detained at Yarl's Wood Immigration removal centre for their cases to be 'fast tracked'. They are expected to disclose their experiences, and prepare for their asylum interview and any appeals within a matter of days. Many do not have legal representation at their appeals. Women who have fled rape and torture are detained and most are turned down for asylum - only about one per cent of women win their case at initial decision in Yarl's Wood, and only two per cent are successful at appeal.
Refusal factory: Women's experiences of the detained fast track asylum process at Yarl's Wood a new report by Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) presents evidence from BID's casework, interviews with women who have been detained, from court observations of fast track asylum appeals at Yarl's Wood, and information from legal representatives and detainee support organisations. It concludes that detained fast track undermines the right to seek asylum by stacking the odds against women.
In addition to launching BID's research, this meeting will provide an opportunity to hear from women who have been detained in fast track. There will be time for questions and discussion with panel members, including lawyers and organisations working with detained women.
Chair: Alison Stanley, Bindman and Partners

A World Civilisation or Clash of Civilisations?
A one day conference debating the 'clash of civilisations' thesis -
New timings: The closing plenary entitled 'Multicultural London - does it work?' will now take place from 6-8pm. If you would like to register for this session only complete the online <http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/equalities/clash-form-session.jsp> registration form.
Some argue that the world is going into an era of conflict and war driven by a 'clash of civilisations'. The Mayor of London's policies are based on the exact opposite idea - that the multicultural city is part of creating a new concept of world civilisation that corresponds to a globalised world.
Gavin Esler, BBC Newsnight presenter, will chair the main debate between Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, and Daniel Pipes, Director of the Middle East Forum, an American think tank that advises US policymakers on the Middle East, on these contrasting approaches and their implications for Londoners.
Sessions will see scholars and policy-makers discuss the impact of international events on London's communities and examine issues such as religious tolerance, human rights, diversity and the approach to multiculturalism.
Other speakers include:
* * David Aaronovitch, Times columnist and author
* * Tariq Ali, Writer
* * Dr. Abdul Bari, Secretary General, Muslim Council of Britain
* * Martin Bright, Political Editor, New Statesman
* * Alistair Crooke, Director, Conflicts Forum

Lesbian and Gay Asylum Seekers Support Meeting
Time: 7pm to 9pm
Location:
Conway Hall,
25 Red Lion Square,
London
WC1R 4RL (Holborn Tube)
UK Lesbian & Gay Immigration Group (UKLGIG)
This meeting follows five successful, well attended meetings in November 2005 and February,May, July and September of this year. The intention has been to bring together, first and foremost, lesbian and gay asylum seekers and refugees, but also the professionals working with them. Solicitors, community organisations and NGO's are encouraged to attend and we would urge them to pass the meeting details to any lesbian & gay asylum seekers with whom they have contact.
This meeting may also be a vital first point of contact for those who have not yet made an asylum application, who have a real fear of persecution if they return home. We will explore issues such as what an asylum claim based on sexuality involves and how to access good quality representation. UKLGIG volunteer solicitors will begin with presentations on key themes and there will be an open discussion, providing an invaluable opportunity for information sharing and mutual support.
All who attend will be welcome to join the UKLGIG team afterwards for a drink nearby.
The previous meetings have highlighted many vital and urgent issues, in particular over the treatment of those in detention, their access to legal advice, the quality of that advice and the inappropriate application of the fast track system to those with sexuality-based asylum claims.

7-9pmThe EU, Turkey and the Kurdish Question
After 3 October 2005 - What future for Turkey's accession?
Public Meeting
Committee Room 4, House of Lords, Westminster, SW1
Following the 3 October 2005 decision to open accession negotiations between Turkey and the EU, the EU-Turkey Civic Commission (EUTCC) has responded to calls to focus greater scrutiny on Turkey’s progress towards meeting accession criteria. Building on its successful conferences in Brussels, this is to be the first EUTCC event focused at its London-based supporters and constituency. Recent eyewitness reports suggest that protection of human rights is deteriorating, with disquieting evidence that security forces have reverted to measures that were prevalent during the 1990s, including extra-judicial killings, torture or ill-treatment, arbitrary arrests and detentions and frequent police raids on private property belonging to Kurds. These reports have been corroborated by human rights observers and by a European Parliament delegation in October. It is clear that Turkey faces an enormous challenge in meeting accession standards on the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities.
The EU-Turkey Civic Commission (EUTCC) is a non-profit association aimed at monitoring the Turkey-EU accession process and making recommendations to the EU, Turkish government and other stakeholders. It was established pursuant to the findings of a conference held at the European Parliament in Brussels hosted by Kurdish Human Rights Project, Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales (BHRC), Rafto Foundation and Medico International. [1]
At the meeting, the EUTCC will address the various questions surrounding Turkey’s EU accession and discuss available opportunities for monitoring and improving the human rights situation in Turkey (including an end to military operations and human rights abuse; the opening of negotiations between the Turkish government and Kurdish representatives; and Turkey’s compliance with Council of Europe recommendations to open a retrial in the case of Abdullah Öcalan.
Speakers include:
Stewart Hemsley
(Chair, Pax Christi; Member of Advisory Council, EUTCC)
Richard McKane
(Poet and Writer, English PEN; Member of Advisory Council, EUTCC)
Mark Muller
