16 St. 41 Min, 31 Dez 2009 Jahr - La Cimade, Rapport Retention 2010: four more NGOs in administrative detention centres.

Beschreibung:

La Cimade was the only organisation working in the field of administrative detention. Since then, four other NGOs have been mandated by the state to provide legal assistance to detained foreign nationals. This development results from a government policy of putting associations into competition with one another, to weaken the voice of opposition from inside the detention centres. The organisations have managed to limit this impact by coming together in a steering group and publishing a national annual report on detention facilities.
All of these organisations operate on a non-profit basis. However, nothing in the call for tenders prevents private for-profit companies from submitting a bid in the future.
