These Walls Must Fall
Description
An orange leaflet showing a Black woman in a head scarf, and black 'These Walls Must Fall' t-shirt, speaking into a microphone. Around the photo are the words 'These Walls Must Fall. Brick by brick, wall by wall... Detention centres will fall!' and a paragraph describing immigration detention as inhumane. The reverse is an illustration of the inside of a prison, titled 'What is immigration detention?' with facts about the topic in yellow boxes covering the illustration.
These Walls Must Fall is a migrant rights campaign which campaigns against immigration detention and the hostile environment policies which criminalise migrants in the UK. They highlight the long term mental and physical health impacts of detention on migrants, the cost of detention (£160 million a year at the time of publication), and the lack of time limit on immigration detention.
