“Immigration detention is a hidden space where people are locked in small cells for up to 12 hours a day and frequently denied legal support and appropriate medical care. The use of immigration detention is inherently damaging to people’s mental health.” independent.co.uk/news/uk/james-…
Following the government's disappointing proposals to lock even more people in detention, on Channel 4 News last night we heard the powerful words of a man being supported by our Casework Team, who has been kept for months in immigration detention. channel4.com/news/backlash-…
On Channel 4 News last night a man supported by our Casework Team spoke about his experiences of being detained for months by the Home Office. Immigration detention, especially without a fixed time limit, is an unjust practice causing serious harm to people's mental health.
With 50+ organisations and 85 individuals, we've written to Yvette Cooper to demand an immediate halt of the reopening of Haslar & Campsfield detention centres! Detention destroys lives—it's time for change. Support community alternatives that uphold dignity! 🧵 #ChooseFreedom
