#HomeOffice disbelieved client’s sexuality, unlawfully segregated her & twice tried to wrongfully remove her. She bravely fought back & changed law on segregation in detention. 3 yrs later appeal allowed & she’s finally vindicated! Our Lewis Kett + @GraceLilyC Garden Court Chambers

Evidence to the Brook House Inquiry has revealed unimaginable mistreatment and abuse that vulnerable people have suffered. It has exposed how a dysfunctional system and abusive practices have caused egregious harm to already vulnerable individuals.
