launch of book and campaign on statelessness

On June 18th we launched a book called 'Statelessness. the quiet torture of belonging nowhere ' In Britain there are hundreds of thousands of people who are denied basic human rights and have been told to go back to their country but are unable to do so. They are criminalised by the system with many serving increasingly long prison sentences for working illegally to survive. Globally there are 15 million stateless people. For more information and to join the campaign go to www.stateless.org.uk. Copies of the book are available from the Peace House for £5 or £3 depending on income.
