New immigration detention emergency helpline
The Refugee Action Group (RAG) has announced the launch of it’s out of hours Immigration Detention Emergency Helpline 0800 8400 495. Any person who is stopped and detained by Immigration Officers in Northern Ireland can now call the free and confidential helpline number. A trained volunteer will notify the detainee’s family where possible and will contact an Immigration Adviser who may be able to assist the detainee in challenging her/his detention. Several NGOs and voluntary sector organisations, such as Law Centre (NI) and Amnesty International, welcome the launch of the Helpline which will provide an invaluable service to detainees. The process of immigration detention can be extremely frightening and disorientating. People may find themselves detained in Northern Ireland and then quickly transported to detention centres in GB. Uprooted from their home, family and support networks, detainees may find it extremely difficult to obtain help. The Helpline number is 0800 8400 495 and is available outside office hours, weekends and holidays. Any person at risk of detention should make a note of the Helpline number. However, RAG also urges members of the public to also ring the helpline if they witness a person being detained by Immigration Officers. Find out more at http://www.refugeeactiongroup.com/ |
