Connor's story: The weight of Detention

(2/4)

#storytelling #hope #compassion #hopenothate #christmascampaign #raiseawareness

"I came to the UK from a British colony for a simple month-long visit. But when I tried to leave, immigration officials wanted to send me back to the country I was born in — a place I hadn’t lived in for nearly twenty years, where friends and family had been murdered. I had no choice but to claim asylum.”

(3/3) We must recognise people’s potential, their long-term place in our society and the value of stability for everyone.

If we want communities to feel connected and confident, policies need to bring people in, not push them further to the margins.

(2/3) This isn’t only about asylum policy. It’s about the kind of society we are shaping. Policies that treat people as temporary weakens trust, fuels division and makes it harder for communities to come together. #notinourname

(1/3)The Home Secretary’s announcement yesterday denies people seeking safety the stability they need to make a life in the UK. Instead, it feeds the idea that people trying to make a life for themselves in the UK are outsiders rather than future colleagues, neighbours and friends.

Medical Justice’s new report shows immigration detention is harming vulnerable people — and it’s getting worse. We stand with them in calling for an end to this system. Please take a moment to read their findings. 📖 medicaljustice.org.uk/annual-revie.... #EndDetention #MigrantRights

It's #RefugeeWeek 2025!
This year's theme is "Community as a Superpower".
celebrating the incredible everyday.
Ordinary and extraordinary. Simple acts of shared generosity and how kindness multiplied can become an unstoppable force! Keep your eyes peeled for more information through the week!

Detention is harmful and the decision to detain a person should not be taken lightly. But according to Home Office statistics released today, 51% of people they detained were later released back into the community. This raises the serious question: why were they detained at all?

Waiting a decade in limbo for permanent UK residency is not immigration policy - It is a prison sentence I have been living and working in the UK for more than a decade.

"10 years of limbo is not immigration policy. It is a prison sentence."
