Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Rudi Vis (Labour), on Thursday, 19 June 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 26 members in total.
DETENTION OF ASYLUM SEEKERS FROM DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
That this House calls for the immediate release of all asylum seekers from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) who are still being held in immigration detention centres around the UK, including one in Belmarsh Prison, as their deportation is not imminent while the DRC country guidance is being appealed against; and considers that their continued detention, in some cases far in excess of 12 months, is becoming unlawful, as it is blatantly punitive rather than administrative.
