This is a collection of accounts by detainees in UK and Australian immigration detention centres. These are people for whom the unthinkable has happened. They have been imprisoned without charge, without conviction, without time limit. They have been imprisoned by governments which boast of their democratic institutions. The accounts in this pamphlet are in the detainees' own words as far as possible. The identity of the individual detainees has been withheld when that has been requested.
There have been two Voices collections to date. The first was published in 2002 and documented the experiences of people detained in the UK. Voices II was published in 2006 to coincide with a month of actions calling for an end to immigration detention in Australia, the UK and other countries. It contains the testimonies of people detained in the UK and Australia.
