Yesterday London had quite a few protests going on, four in fact. There was a protest by the Hilsborough Justice Campaign which attracted around 4,000 people, there was a massive protest by the British Tamil community, the daily protests against the Iranian elections continued in Kensington and in Trafalfar sqaure there was a protest for refugees rights. So I faced a dilemma in choosing which to shoot. In the end I decided to go for the refugees rights protest mainly because I thought it was a story that needed telling (asylum seekers face an extremely difficult situation in the UK and can be left destitute for years).
The protest was called to mark International Refugee Day and was to support the campaign to end destitution of refused asylum seekers. Amnesty International’s London groups teamed up with other organisations including the Refugee Council to hold the rally in Trafalgar Square.
