Locked up for a piece of paper Immigration Detention - The Hidden Costs

    • Society & Culture

In this episode Aminata shares the anger she feels at the injustice of being locked up just for the sake of a piece of paper and the hypocrisy of a country that denounces human rights abuses in other countries, whilst perpetrating similar acts of oppression itself. While she connects the UK’s current immigration detention system to its history of colonialism and the desire to silence a particular group of people, she refuses to be broken by the system and shares powerful ideas for alternative approaches.
