Most of us sleep in our beds because of the rule of law. Its easy to point at other counties that don't have it, but we must keep an eye out closer to home. We lock up 30,000 a year. UK is only european country with no #timelimit #immigrationdetention ALQC @ #justiceweek18

Detention should play no part in the asylum system and we fully support @TheBMA in their call for this terrifying, humiliating experience to be phased out completely.

Almost every informed commentator accepts that fundamental to the reforms required, is the introduction of a statutory 28-day time-limit on detention. There are workable alternatives to detention. Read this independent report from SOAS, commissioned by the Bar Council. https://t.co/LRtp5xK08r
