The guy on the ground forms part of a group of ' Illegal Immigrants'. on that Thursday morning they decided to stage a peaceful protest in the football ground.
These people are from Congo, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Erithrea and other war-thorn countries and risked there life travelling in Crowded boats in the Mediterranean Sea to make it to europe.
They are being detained cause they are illegal immigrants. some of them have been detained for 18 months. They live in crowded barracks and their conditions are appaling. some of them even live in tents, with hardly any shelter from Cold and Heat.
So they decided to make a peaceful protest , demanding Justice & Freedom.
The Soldiers did tell them to get back to the barracks , but the immigrants refused.
The protests started at about 8.30 a.m. when the illegal immigrants marched onto the pitch holding banners with the words "I am not a criminal" and "We are not animals". They chanted "All we are saying is give us freedom" to the tune of John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance.
Before the charge, several detainees spoke to The Times across the fence to express their frustration.
"I don't know why my application for asylum has been refused when there's a war raging on in my country," one Liberian charged.
The protesters claimed that detention was driving some of the them crazy. "I wish you could go in there to see the number of people that are going insane," a 26-year old man from the Ivory Coast said, pointing to the barracks.

In that case it's more of a case of over-zealous Police...'Xenophobia' is usually only attributed to the behaviour of members of the public. French people are generally quite tolerent...however, Italians and Spanish people are less so...

Im saying technically there will always be other countries in the way, you are supposed to go to the first (nearest) safe country.
So basically, there is no way you can really end up in England legally.
Or it could be some cops beating a protester of some kind.Where did you get these pictures?JM
