Free Fact Sheets on Immigration Detention & Staying Safe

News

Together with These Walls Must Fall, we have produced two A5 fact sheets; on immigration detention, and on staying safe against the threat of far right violence. The leaflets offer clear definitions and practical information on what you can do if you are facing immigration detention, or find yourself at risk of aggression or violence from the far right.

Immigration Detention flier details

What is immigration detention?

Immigration detention is when the government removes people from their families and communities and holds them in prison-like centres called immigration removal centres (IRC) or Short-term holding facilities (STHFs) because of their immigration status.

The flier offers further information on:

  • Why people are detained,
  • Who is detained,
  • Why we oppose immigration detention and
  • What you can do.
