Questioning the necessity of pre-removal detention: the Case of Spain

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Detention has increasingly been used as the main strategy across Europe to prevent foreign 
citizens from absconding while pending for deportation. Yet, this is a highly contested 
measure as it often implies breaching several human and migrant rights. In Spain, civil 
society has a long tradition of advocating for the closure of all pre-removal detention centres 
for foreigners, known locally as CIEs -the Centro de Internamiento de Extranjeros-. But is this 
a realistic possibility within Spain's current politico-legal framework? Grounded the data 
gathered and analysis of the first two research stages of MORE, in this blog post, we argue 
that abolishing pre-removal detention is a viable option.
