St Andrew’s Day Dignity Not Detention Solidarity Gathering – Dungavel IRC, Strathaven, ML10 6RF –

Sunday 30th, November, 1pm

Join Justice & Peace Scotland to call for "Dignity Not Detention" and advocate for an end to the inhumane practice of unlimited immigration detention. The UK is the only country in Europe that does not have a statutory time limit on detention, meaning people can be held in prison-like conditions indefinitely with no idea when they will be released. We do so mindful of Pope Leo XIV’s recent reaffirmation that we will be judged by how we treat the stranger.
