The UK is the only country in western Europe which practises indefinite immigration detention: people can be locked up in prison-like conditions for months and years when their only offence is to be a migrant.
Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group [GDWG] has supported people detained on the perimeter road of Gatwick Airport for almost 30 years. Refugee Tales is a project which has published 5 volumes of their stories to inform the world of this inhumane policy and walks regularly to call for its end.
We are raising funds for GDWG.
