No One Is Illegal and allies put together a solidarity caravan on Hallow's eve in solidarity with Tamil refugees being held in prisons after having arrived in BC.

The group has been holding weekly noise demos at Burnaby Youth Detention Centre, and today visited Alouette Correctional Centre for Women and the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre as well.

Even though the reception from correctional facility staff was hostile, the demo made itself seen and heard with banners, a variety of noisemakers and Tamil music.
