Last week, around 30 people in detention began a hunger strike, demanding their right to asylum in the UK. “We have a reason why we came to this country: to be protected... We would like to be free and to have our human rights & protection.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/n…

A huge #ProBonoWeek thank you to the incredible barristers and lawyers who represent our clients for free🙏 Last year, you dedicated 655 hours to ensuring people in detention can access the legal rights they are entitled to. You bring our clients home to their families and communities🫂

Pandering to the far right won’t bring unity, belonging, care & community will. This weekend’s march was built on years of racist policies & scapegoating. We stand in solidarity. Join local justice groups & support our fight to end detention: donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS…
