Around 500 people held at an immigration detention center in coastal Georgia have begun a hunger strike. They are protesting conditions inside the facility and what they describe as violations of asylum protocols by US authorities. The action is one of the larger known detainee protests at an immigration detention site in the region, drawing attention to treatment of asylum seekers.
Why now: The scale of the hunger strike and allegations against US asylum procedures have drawn fresh attention to conditions in immigration detention.
