A monthly prayer vigil has been held outside the barrier to Derwentside Immigration Removal Centre for the last four and a half years.
The purpose is to pray for the women who are detained there. To stand in solidarity with them and to witness by our presence that their detention is inhumane, unjust and incompatible with our faith which calls us to recognise the unique dignity of each person in our one human family.
All are welcome to come along to a short prayer service which incorporates a time of silence.
If you are unable to join in person, please join in prayer from home at 3.00pm.
