Pueblos Unidos, a Spanish NGO devoted to the rights of migrants and ethnic minorities released a report about the detention center for undocumented immigrants in Madrid. It’s in Spanish but since I know many of the people who follow this Tumblr speak the language, I thought I’d share a link.
Though I must warn you, the whole thing was an extremely difficult and disturbing read. The report is based on research carried out through more than 1,000 visits to the detention center, each to follow up on the conditions in which detainees where kept. The report is a scathing collection of incidents of racism and dehumanization in an unsanitary environment. As the researchers point out, these immigrants live in much worse conditions than convicted criminals kept in Spain’s prison system.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
