American Azkaban
Our allies at JK Rowling’s former employer Amnesty International let us know the following is happening in the US right now. To combat this, sign here right now!
-lawful permanent residents, asylum seekers, and survivors of torture are being detained while they fight for protection
-US citizens and lawful permanent residents can be detained for years without any review of their custody
-Meaningful oversight and accountability for abuse or neglect in detention is almost nonexistent
individuals in detention often lack treatment for their medical needs and 74 people have died while in immigration detention over the past five years
