Experienced practitioners from the immigration and public law team, Samina Iqbal (Joint-Head of Team) and Pierre Georget provide an overview on Unlawful Detention and Bail.
We were also delighted to host:

– Naomi Blackwell, Detention Outreach Manager, Jesuit Refugee Service UK, who provides an insight into the Detention Estate in light of the Napier Barracks and their work there.

He also provides an update on parliamentary work pushing for a 28-day time limit, and give an overview of DA’s work on alternatives to detention.
