Immigrant detainees launch hunger strike at Georgia ICE prison
Original: “We don’t deserve this treatment”: Immigrants launch hunger strike against torture at Georgia ICE prison
Detained immigrants at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Georgia have begun a hunger strike to protest what they describe as torture and abusive treatment. In a statement reported by the World Socialist Web Site, participants declared, "We don't deserve this treatment." The action highlights mounting complaints over conditions inside ICE detention centers and is drawing attention from advocacy groups and rights campaigners.
Why now: Ongoing scrutiny of conditions in US immigration detention has made reports of detainee protest highly charged news.
