Austin Escorts: Migrants, asylum-seekers ‘UK’s most dehumanised group’
Human cost of immigration detention revealed in new report
A new report ‘Out of sight, out of mind’ released today by detainee rights charity Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) reveals the unacceptable human cost of indefinite immigration detention in the UK and calls on the government to halt its plans to increase detention capacity.
Based on testimonies from immigration detainees, BID’s report shows the devastating physical and emotional damage caused by immigration detention in the UK. People interviewed in BID’s report include
* Frances, who was detained twice with her children and was not given her HIV medication for several weeks while she was in detention.
* Luisa, who claimed asylum and was detained after she fled from the men who brought her to the UK to work as a prostitute.
