Children’s Commissioner: "Detention of children must stop"
On Monday 27 April 2009, England's Children's Commissioner published a report on the arrest and detention of children subject to immigration control. The Children's Commissioner is responsible for ensuring compliance by the State with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in England. The Commissioner describes the government's policy of holding children in removal centres as "harmful to their health and well-being".
