Take action on detention

People fight hard against detention in the courts and on the streets. A lot of supporters show solidarity with visits and friendship. In the last few years, there has been a growth in social movements and political action led by migrants. In late 2013, refugee protest camps suddenly appeared in public squares in towns in many places in Europe.
