Harrowing conditions at Manston made me suicidal, former resident tells Morning Star
A group of people thought to be migrants gather their belongings before leaving the Manston immigration short-term holding facility located at the former Defence Fire Training and Development Centre in Thanet, Kent
AN ASYLUM-SEEKER says he was driven close to suicide after being detained for three weeks at Manston in harrowing conditions.
Hozan — not his real name — described being retraumatised by the overcrowded, repressive and dangerous conditions at the processing facility in Kent.
The young asylum-seeker said he came to Britain in mid-October by small boat after fleeing his home country in the Middle East, where he had been held in military prison.
