Joint document in which various organisations question the validity of detention as a policy for removal.1
preference should be given to voluntary removal.2
children should not be removed by force or detained.3
“No action should be taken to remove any person who suffers from a serious illness, unless it can be established that he/she has real access to appropriate treatment and medical care in his/her country of origin upon return.”4
Detention as a final resort, family unity should be preserved and families with children should not be detained.5
