DEVAS project : Detention of Vulnerable Asylum Seekers in the European Union
The aim of the project is to support civil society in the above-mentioned EU Member States by creating and strengthening a sustainable network of civil society actors concerning administrative detention across the ten new EU Member States. The project implies a number of activities at various stages; it particularly requires collecting, analysing and summarising information allowing for public awareness-raising and active civil society citizenship.
