BID Sign Joint Statement to Home Secretary against Detention Expansion
With 50+ organisations and 85 individuals, we've written to Yvette Cooper MP to stop the reopening of Haslar & Campsfield detention centres.
A coalition of local residents (Gosport and Oxford), human rights organisations, academics, and advocates for people in detention have issued a powerful joint statement to The Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP, Home Secretary, opposing the plans to re-open Haslar and Campsfield Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs). The statement, co-ordinated by AVID, Keep Campsfield Closed and Border Criminologies, received 82 signatures, representing 50 organisations.
The coalition condemns these plans as a regressive step that contradicts the principles of fairness, humanity, and justice.
