On Thursday 27th April between 6:00pm and 8:00pm at Birmingham City University, Curzon building Room 101,we are holding an evening of vital discussion on the nature of state-sponsored racist, xenophobic immigration detention centres in the UK. We cannot turn a blind eye to this when, only in 2015 more than 32,200 people were indefinitely detained, nor can we ignore the horrific abuses taking place within these illegal prisons.

You'll hear the voices of those who have been detained, so we can all get an understanding of what an immigration detention centre is, how it operates within the context of the UK, why the majority of people held in these prisons are people of colour, the experiences of people held under these conditions, and what we can do to put an end to this cruel and illegal practice. This session will be facilitated by ex-detainees from the Freed Voices Project.
