Children in Detention Centres
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary to end child immigration detention. More details
Submitted by Revd David W. Faulks
More details from petition creator
In the UK we routinely detain the children of asylum seekers in removal centres, prisons in all but name.
We detain 2000 children every year, many for months on end. These children have committed no crime. They, or their parents, have simply exercised their right to claim asylum.
The children of asylum seekers are the only children who may be detained without time limit and the UK is the only European country where this happens. Australia, for example, has pledged to never put another asylum seeking child in a detention centre.
If enough people speak out the government will have to listen. Please sign our petition.
Thank you.
