A SUICIDAL immigration detainee at Brook House who was throttled by a guard in a horrific incident caught on film has told an inquiry he thought he was going to die.
The Egyptian national, who arrived in Britain in 2014 as an unaccompanied child asylum-seeker, was held for four months at the then G4S-run detention centre near Gatwick in 2017.
During that time the former detainee, known as MA, says he was subjected to serious mistreatment and abuse from staff.
