Activists left rotting food outside Serco's HQ in protest at its treatment of asylum-seekers
ACTIVISTS blockaded the HQ of security firm Serco by dumping rotting food there today in protest at its treatment of detainees at Yarl’s Wood.
The action was organised by Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants, which tweeted that it wanted to remind the private company running the immigration detention centre that 120 women inmates are entering their second week of hunger strike.
