A piece from Colin Yeo.
As the opening post in a mini series over the next few weeks on detention issues and cases I thought it would be worthwhile to give a plug to the work of the small charity Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID). BID relies on pro bono work by barristers in order to function and those barristers who profess an interest in or commitment to human rights work would be hard pressed to find a more immediate, close to home and challenging outlet for their pro bono energies than BID. I can speak from personal experience when I say it is not easy work, though, and I only recently re-started taking a regular BID list of cases after a long hiatus.
