JRS leaflet: Flee for your life and risk imprisonment without crime
For over 20 years JRS has been serving, accompanying, and
defending the rights of, refugees held in detention. JRS
staff around the world - in Europe, the US, South Asia, Asia
Pacific, Southern Africa, Eastern Africa and in the
Caribbean - visit people in detention who have not been
charged with, or convicted of, any crime. These people have
been deprived of their liberty simply for entering or
remaining in a country or moving without authorisation. JRS
is concerned about the inadequate conditions in which
refugees, asylum seekers and migrants are being held in
detention and about their lack of access to proper
procedures. [19/06/06]
