Detention centre death triggers protests
Harmondsworth

PROTESTS have been staged inside and outside Europe’s largest immigration detention centre after a man was found dead, amid fears over a mass deportation flight planned for Tuesday night.

Nigerian man Oscar Okwurime died at Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre in west London on Thursday evening.

Fellow detainees staged a protest in a courtyard on Friday morning, holding up a sheet saying “RIP Oscar.”
