UN Rights Chief Condemns US Conditions of Immigration Detention

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle
   Bachelet, has condemned the conditions of detention in which refugees
   and migrants are being held on the southern border of the United
   States.

   Bachelet calls conditions in the camps appalling for both adult and
   child refugees and migrants, but especially for children. Her
   spokeswoman, Ravina Shamdasani, told VOA that the high commissioner, as
   a former pediatrician, and as a mother, grandmother, and former head of
   state, feels personally stricken by the plight of the children.
