PROTESTERS rallied outside a Home Office refugee reporting centre in Manchester today demanding the release of asylum-seekers held by the government.
Campaign groups said that despite the government putting its failed Rwanda scheme on hold, and a Labour commitment to dump the plan, men and women earmarked for deportation are still in custody.
Campaign groups have joined forces in north-west England to fight for the release of detainees and the scrapping of the Rwanda laws.
