A demonstration in support of refugees is being held in Bristol on Saturday. The event is organised by Bristol Stand Up to Racism and comes after an anti-asylum seeker protest took place on Merseyside last week.
The group is calling for people to mobilise at the fountains in the city centre at 2pm. Organisers want to send out a clear message that ‘refugees are welcome’ and join others taking a stand against the actions of far right groups.
A spokesperson from Bristol Stand Up To Racism said: “In recent weeks we have seen a reemergence of the fascists and far right mobilisations. In Liverpool on Friday we saw hundreds of racist bigots attempt to storm a hostel housing refugees.
