San Antonio, April 16 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Texas, immigrant mothers held with their children in a private detention center have launched a new hunger strike and work stoppage to demand their release.

The women are asylum seekers who say they have been denied bond despite having established a credible fear of violence if they return to Central America.

One of the immigrants is Kenia Galeano, who is from Honduras. She spent five months in detention with her two-year-old son before finally being released on bond. Kenia Galeano told reporters that she was put in isolation as punishment after joining an earlier hunger strike.
