NO TO IMMIGRATION DETENTION
“While I was at Campsfield I saw many people struggle to cope with depression and a system designed to break people down. You are treated as if you are a risk to society when all you are trying to do is reach safety and build a life.”
The government plans to re-open Campsfield Detention Centre next to Oxford Airport and the University Science Park by the end of 2025. If the plan goes ahead, 400 people will be imprisoned in our community without trial, without time limit, and without proper judicial oversight.
More detention means more years of danger, misery and harm for detainees. Mistreatment of vulnerable people, including survivors of torture and trafficking, is deeply ingrained in the system.
Immigration detention is not the answer to the arrival of people in the UK, regardless of how they get here. Alternatives do exist! Stand up for human rights and join the fight to ensure that Campsfield remains closed.
