We’re excited to be in Parliament this afternoon to meet with parliamentarians to talk about our new report on immigration detention. Detention is: ❌ Retraumatising ❌ Harmful, and ❌ Pointless. We urge the Government to rethink the detention of women, now.

Yesterday, the Government posted shocking footage of people being taken from detention centres - by force - and put on deportation flights. This act of performative cruelty gives rise to racism and could have dangerous consequences. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... 1/2

Two months on from the fall of Assad's regime in Syria, the UK Government still has a 'pause' on asylum claims from Syrian people. Keeping people in limbo causes huge distress. We urge the Government to find a way of moving forward - quickly. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

"For too long, the response to Channel crossings has focused on deterrence and enforcement, without addressing the root causes. Without them, refugees fleeing war and persecution have no viable alternatives. Deaths in the Channel are preventable." www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic... - Lord Dubs
