Time for a time limit

 

We are launching an online campaign on Tuesday on immigration detention. It’s a 28 day campaign calling for a 28 day time limit on immigration detention.

We have worked with 28 LGBTQI+ celebrities and influencers to share the stories of LGBTQI+ people who have been in detention. Starting on Tue 3 Sep, we will release one video on our Twitter account every day. Celebrities and influencers involved in the campaign include Great British Bake Off star Rav Bansal, author Juno Dawson, comedian James Barr, model and activist Jamie Windust, and singer and performer Toya Delazy. We will be asking people to add their names to the campaign and later to write to their MPs to support the amendment for a time limit to the immigration bill.

PREVIOUSLY …

 

An inquiry into immigration detention by the Home Affairs Select Committee has criticised the government for not recognising lesbian, gay and bisexual people as adults at risk in immigration detention centres. The report drew on the experiences of LGBTQI+ people subjected to homophobic, biphobic and transphobic discrimination, abuse and harassment inside detention centres.

The Committee say the Home Office has a ‘shockingly cavalier attitude’ to immigration detention and ‘overseen serious failings in almost every area of the immigration detention process’. The inquiry found that the most vulnerable detainees are not being afforded the necessary protection.

The report also relays concerns that detention has a direct impact on the prospects of LGBTQI+ people in need of protection being recognised as refugees.
