THE Home Office has been accused of misleading a public inquiry and turning a blind eye to the “toxic” culture of abuse, corruption, racism and drug-dealing at the notorious Brook House immigration removal centre.

Inquiry chair Kate Eves today released her final report following a three-year investigation into the shocking treatment of detainees exposed by a BBC Panorama investigation.

She detailed 19 times their human rights to not be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment were breached at the G4S-run site between April and August 2017.
