No one should be locked up for seeking safety. The UK’s immigration detention system tears families apart and violates human rights. It’s time for #DignityNotDetention. Freedom is a human right.

People don’t get on dangerous boats because they want to break rules, but because they have no other option. They are fleeing persecution and are looking to rebuild their lives in safety.

Anger and division cause tensions in our communities, dividing us and tearing the social fabric of our society. It harms us all.

That’s why we’ve signed this open letter with over 100 organisations calling on the new Home Secretary to unite communities.
