📢THIS WEEKEND - Dignity Not Detention

📢THIS WEEKEND - Dignity Not Detention

🪧Join us alongside Archbishop Nolan for a peaceful witness outside Dungavel Immigration Removal Centre as we call for an end to indefinite immigration detention in the UK.

👨‍🧒This Sunday, while many of us celebrate Father’s Day with our loved ones, the fathers detained inside Dungavel will remain separated from their children, potentially cut off from family visits by the centre’s remote location and lack of public transport access.

🤍Every person deserves to be treated with dignity however in detention centres like Dungavel, people are held in prison like conditions with no set time limit and no clear idea of when they will be released. This prolonged uncertainty takes a considerable toll on mental wellbeing, disconnects people from their families and communities, and can amplifying pre-existing stress or trauma.

Join us to raise our voices for a system that respects the dignity of all:
🗺️Dungavel House, Strathaven, ML10 6RF
🕐Sunday 15th June at 1.00PM
