Absolutely shocking accounts from people detained at the Manston processing facility in 2022, including a woman who says she was pregnant and unable to access medical care. She later miscarried. One man was denied a shower or clean clothes for 33 days. 1/2 theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a…

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we're highlighting the hidden crisis in the UK's immigration detention centres. Prolonged confinement. The threat of deportation. Separation from loved ones. Not knowing when you will regain your freedom. Detention is disastrous for mental health.

📢 We gave evidence today Equalities, Human Rights & Civil Justice Committee on civil legal aid reform. We highlighted urgent gaps in access to justice for refugees & people seeking asylum across Scotland — including poor solicitor availability, delays, and the impact of dispersal. #LegalAid #ScotPol

Everyone in immigration detention had a story to tell, family and friends waiting for them and a life to live. Indefinite detention hurts many people. #endindefinitedetention #enddetention #therearealternatives

Another life lost to an asylum system that abandons people to inadequate accommodation where they are not kept safe. Mr Pereira Vargas deserved better. In his memory, and in the memory of everyone killed in this system, the Government must do better. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

This isn't easy to read. But it's important. It's what constant dehumanising attacks from politicians on people seeking safety lead to. Thousands of people demanding to see fellow human beings denied food, shelter or healthcare. It's why we must keep fighting for asylum rights.
