At moment In the UK there are about 3000 detainees across 10 detention centres. A large proportion of the detainees are been held in detentions for more then 2 years, it is a violation of there civil rights and liberty.
The practice of indefinite detention in the UK is inhuman, some people keep saying it costing the government a lot of money what about the human cost, what about the suffering and the misery that detainees have to go through.
The statistics shows that when a detainee is detained for more then a year then there is no prospect of getting a travel document. My question is: why detaining some body when there is no prospect of obtaining a travel document?
Here is some comparison with other EU states regarding detention.
1-France,Cyprus 32 days
2-Italy,Spain 40 days
3-Ireland 56 days
4- Greece,Luxembourg 3 months
Now I let you be the judge on this issue, are we really living in a democratic state?
