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

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

Lots of men who were previously in the horrible and notorious 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.

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. 😔

This tragedy appears like it was not only avoidable but a direct result of the catastrophe that was .
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 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. 🧵
