Refugee Project launch

16 June 2004

John McDonnell MP is hosting the launch of the Refugee Project, a coalition of groups documenting the links between global economics and enforced migration.

Wednesday 16 June 2004, 7.00pm
Grand Committee Room, House of Commons, Westminster, London SW1A 0AA

Speakers include:

Liz Fekete, Deputy Director Institute of Race Relations
Ann Feltham, Campaign Against the Arms Trade
Hannah Griffiths, Friends of the Earth
Nick Hildyard, The Corner House
Jean Lambert, Green Party MEP
Baroness Sarah Ludford, Liberal Democrat MEP
Pardeep Singh, Defenders of the Environment and Ecology of Punjab.

The Refugee project is a coalition of environmental, human rights and development groups which have been working for the past two years to document such links and provide a platform where refugees can voice their own histories. This work has been brought together in a book, Listen to the Refugee's Story: how UK foreign investment creates refugees and asylum seekers, which highlights the broad links between enforced migration and global economic processes.
