Detention & Exile

Detention & Exile – The Global Crisis of Arbitrary Imprisonment and Forced Displacement

Uncovering State-Sanctioned Abuse Against Journalists, LGBTQ+ Families, and Dissidents

Across the globe, individuals are being detained without due process, exiled from their homes, and criminalized for who they are or what they believe. RevealThem.org investigates and exposes politically motivated arrests, unlawful deportations, and targeted persecution of minorities, activists, and families seeking refuge.

Our Detention & Exile dossiers highlight:

• Arbitrary detention of LGBTQ+ parents in hostile states

• Imprisonment of journalists and whistleblowers without access to legal counsel

• Forced separation of children from their lawful guardians

• State violence masked as migration enforcement

• Exile as a tool of political repression

• Use of outdated colonial laws to criminalize identity and expression

These are not isolated cases. From the Caribbean to Central Asia, from Sub-Saharan Africa to Eastern Europe, we document systemic patterns of abuse.

A Case in Focus: LGBTQ+ Family Detained and Separated

One of our ongoing investigations exposes how an LGBTQ+ family was unlawfully detained, separated from their child, and denied bail in a country that promotes itself as a tourist paradise. Their phones, computers, and manuscripts were confiscated without warrant. Their six-year-old son was placed in de facto foster care. Despite international birth certificates and proof of guardianship, the courts refused to acknowledge the family’s legal rights.

RevealThem.org tracks these violations in real time, working with legal experts, NGOs, and international observers to bring truth to light.

Why This Matters

• Freedom from arbitrary detention is a core principle of international human rights law

• Exile and deportation have long been used to silence dissent and destroy families

• Children’s rights are routinely ignored in politically charged cases

• Digital confiscation and media suppression threaten global press freedom

If unchecked, these tactics become templates for authoritarian regimes around the world.
