ASYLUM-seekers suffer overcrowding, hunger, restricted movement, room inspections and attacks by racist groups as they live in “human warehouses,” campaigners have warned.

Myths that asylum-seekers are enjoying a luxurious lifestyle in comfortable hotels have been dispelled by campaign group Refugee Action which instead described the sites as “far-right thug magnets” with people living in squalor, appalling food and increasing mental illness among occupants.

In longer-term accommodation, the group found collapsed ceilings, mould, infestations and sewage leaks.
