Several groups hope to raise awareness about U.S. human rights policies.

Next Saturday's demonstration in Springettsbury Township isn't about just one person being detained in the York County Prison, its organizers said.

It's about all detainees across the country, said Craig Ilgenfritz, spokesman for the Convergence for Human Rights Coalition, which is hosting the rally that begins at Springettsbury Township Park. People will march to the prison, then march to the Caterpillar parts warehouse to hold another rally.

Organizers say Saturday's rally in support of immigration detainees at the York County Prison may attract considerably more than the 1,000 protesters they initially expected.
The Convergence for Human Rights rally, to be held at the prison in Springettsbury Township, was planned to draw attention to the stories of detainees, who rally organizers say are victims of human rights violations.
