A few meters from Brussels International Airport – Zaventem, you will find Centre de Rétention 127 bis and Caricole Transit Centre.
In Belgium, as in all other European Union countries, people of foreign origin considered “illegal” due to lack of proper documentation are detained with a view to their deportation. These centers, located near the runways and away from the media’s attention, have been involved in many scandals, yet today they operate more efficiently than ever.
An insight into the European deportation system, where men and women are trapped in a cycle, their lives suspended by a blind and inhumane bureaucracy. Isolated from the world, their voices speak of injustice, despair, and forms of both physical and psychological torture.
An initiative by the Getting The Voice Out collective, which supports struggles in closed centers by amplifying the voices of detainees.
