Britain: Ecuadorians are being treated like terrorists by the Home Office

On Thursday, April 24th, in Elephant and Castle – the heart of the Latin American community in London – the HOME OFFICE and BRITISH POLICE entered Ecuadorian business in an unprecedented operation.

The police forced their way in hunting for undocumented workers. This is happening in the country where human rights are supposedly respected. Children looked on as armed police pushed their parents against the wall, broke through doors and intimidated all those they found in spots known to be frequented by Latin Americans, the majority of whom are Ecuadorians.  This unusual scene is something that has only been observed to date in cases of "terrorism."

This must be rejected by the Ecuadorian community.  We need to use all the possible channels open to us within the law to denounce this act of abuse of authority against immigrant communities such as the Ecuadorian community.

We are placing the entire community on alert.  We must join in solidarity with our brothers and sisters, and unite also with the campaigns that are unfolding [in various migrant communities now under attack.]

WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS! WE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WORK!

WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND WANT TO BE RESPECTED!
