People seeking safety in the UK are being dumped in disused army barracks. It is detention in all but name and is putting lives at risk.
Left to live in overcrowded rooms with just a dirty bedsheet to separate bunks, this accommodation is nowhere near Covid-secure.
People fleeing unimaginable trauma are now housed in places that can lead them to relive memories of war and torture, without proper medical and psychological support. Suicide attempts have been made.
The continuation of these abysmal accommodation conditions is baked into the Government’s plans to reform the asylum system under a newly passed set of anti-refugee laws. We’re going to need to fight hard to ensure that people are treated with dignity and humanity. Now is the time to get the barracks closed.
