John Marshall’s International Human Rights Clinic has led initiatives to draw attention to human rights issues involving immigrants held in U.S. detention facilities, as well as the cholera epidemic in Haiti.
Adults seeking safe asylum in the United States can be subjected to deplorable conditions in U.S. detention facilities, including psychologically damaging solitary confinement and sexual violence.
Experts from the University of Chicago, Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, John Marshall and more were featured on the Nov. 12 IHRC panel.
That’s according to a report from John Marshall’s International Human Rights Clinic (IHRC) and the Heartland Alliance National Immigrant Justice Center.
Experts from the University of Chicago, Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and more discussed the latest developments in immigration detention and the U.S. government’s international obligations at a Nov. 12 event at John Marshall.
In honor of Human Rights Day on Dec. 1, the IHRC led a group of nearly 60 supporters from around the world in calling on the United Nations to stop refusing remedies to the victims of Haiti’s destructive cholera epidemic. Denying proper redress, IHRC leaders assert, is a violation of the human rights of Haitian victims.
