‘You walked in and your heart sank’: the shocking inside story of #Manston detention centre

Last year, the short-term facility in Kent ballooned into a vast, unsafe camp holding thousands of people, including children. How did our #asylum system get so broken – and what does it reveal about #Rishi #Sunak's promise to stop the small boats

Goodwill to all but not asylum seekers
Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick has rewritten the law governing short-term holding facilities such as Manston to dramatically downgrade standards of healthcare, legal advice, communications and sleeping conditions

OPINION: At #Manston detention centre, border violence and outsourcing collide. #Unions must challenge both.

Dozens of the people who work as security at the #immigration detention centre also sleep in the back of vans outside. They are predominantly from east #Africa, west and south Asia and #Albania – the same regions that most of the detained asylum seekers came from.

I've written a piece on #Manston for @NationCymru@twitter.com. To my mind, its very existence is the most evil act carried out by a British government in living memory. https://nation.cymru/opinion/the-newspeak-of-manston/

“I think it is awful what is happening to these people. They have been through worse than anyone can imagine, once they think they are finally safe they are shipped around the UK and treated as less than human.”

Lots of men who were previously in the horrible and notorious #Manston processing centre have been moved to our patch. We badly need clothes as theirs were taken by Border Force. They were sent to London in flip flops. Pls bring good condition running shoes & warm winter clothes.

An asylum seeker who died after staying at the #Manston processing centre in Kent did have diphtheria, the Home Office has confirmed.

😞

He didn't "stay there" Sky News, he was *detained there* or *imprisoned there*. There was nothing voluntary about him being in that place for longer than any detainee was supposed to be there. The Home Office has blood on its hands. 😔 #Manston

This tragedy appears like it was not only avoidable but a direct result of the catastrophe that was #Manston.
The govt must commit to ensuring that this never happens again + that any officials found responsible are held accountable.

Today we heard appalling stories from new asylum-seeking members of our community who’d recently been released from #Manston camp.

They’d suffered brutality in Libya and Sudan and fled to the UK for safety. Instead they were kept in what was effectively a prison - Manston. 🧵
