Lisa Appignanesi, Nick Hornby, Aamer Hussein, Hanif Kureishi and Andrea Levy join Clare Sambrook in a petition to stop child detention now.

International writers have joined lawyers, health professionals, teachers and social workers in a campaign to end the detention of children seeking asylum. The petition has been organised by Esme Madill, Simon Parker, Clare Sambrook, Alexa Kellow and Mary McCormack of End Child Detention Now and is one of the fatest growing petitions of the No.10 website. A long list of authors, including Lisa Appingnanesi, Nick Hornby, Aamer Hussein, Hanif Kureishi and Andrea Levy, have signed their names in protest. The petition, draft letters to MPs and more information about the campaign can be found at the End Child Detention Now website.
