I slightly edited the NCADC text to leave out five words - the orginal demands that the women are 'immediately returned to Yarl's Wood' or 'released into the community'- as Yarls Wood is a place that should be immediately closed I thinki it's better to deamnd that the women are immediately released into the community along with all other detainees.

Have sent message of support from workplace union group.

Four women were picked out as "ringleaders" and were taken to various prisons. All are now incarcerated in HMP Holloway.
