Petition Put pressure on US to stop using refugee detention camps
Refugees families are separated and held in inhumane conditions, with no access to the legal system. There have been deaths and there may be more. This is not something we can tolerate in our supposed "special relationship".
More details
The US deny these are concentration camps. They need to be challenged on the use of these camps and the conditions in them.
