We have signed @BIDdetention and @libertyhq letter calling on the Home Office to let migrants live with liberty, privacy and basic dignity in the community, rather than use indefinite, 24/7 GPS surveillance via ankle tags.
🚨 The Home Office has quietly introduced a system of 24/7 GPS surveillance as a condition of immigration bail, & will use this data against people in their immigration applications.
We support @BIDdetention and @libertyhq’s call to repeal this policy.
