Detention Camps in Assam
The notorious Detention Camps of Assam are housed inside district jails and are notorious for the appalling conditions in which "Declared Foreigners" are kept there. At Matia, Goalpara, a massive new detention facility being built specifically to house "foreigners" is now raising concerns about widespread human rights abuses committed under the cover of "weeding out" illegal immigrants.
Every detainee has the right to an impartial hearing, according to CJP. Our work on the ground has actually shown that the majority of people imprisoned have the necessary papers and are legitimate Indian nationals. The process appears biased against the poor and these hapless persons end up in Detention Camps.

HELP US DO MORE
The on-ground implementation of the Supreme Court's historic decision to release on bail detainees who've spent two years inside detention camps remains very difficult. Our team must travel to far flung places, find bailors, verify documents, prepare affidavits and petitions, and liaise with policemen before a single inmate is released. Not just that, our team also accompanies the inmates back home and periodically checks up on them. Help us meet these expenses. Help us release more inmates from Assam's detention camps.
