On 28 November 1993 the first minibus load or detainees arrived at Campsfield 6 miles north of Oxfor, from Harmondsworth, to be met by protests. Since then over ten thousand refugees and other migrants have been imprisoned at Campsfield, not charged with a crime, for an indefinite period, without proper access to legal advice or judicial oversight.
