Welcome to the Refugee Action Group (RAG)
The Refugee Action Group (RAG) was set up in 2001. RAG is a coalition of NGOs, voluntary sector organisations, refugees and individuals with an interest in refugee issues in Northern Ireland. The aim of the group is to be an independent voice advocating on asylum and refugee issues, and to be supportive to the refugee and asylum-seeking community in Northern Ireland.NEW IMMIGRATION DETENTION EMERGENCY HELPLINE
The Refugee Action Group (RAG) is pleased to announce the launch of its out-of-hours Immigration Detention Emergency Helpline which goes live today. RAG aims to be an independent voice advocating on asylum and refugee issues in Northern Ireland.
Any person who is stopped and detained by Immigration Officers in Northern Ireland can now call the free and confidential Helpline number. A trained volunteer will notify the detainee’s family where possible and will contact an Immigration Adviser who may be able to assist the detainee in challenging her/his detention.
