Refugees held at 'black site' without proper food
Refugees are escorted to the docks at Dover by border security officers

CHANNEL-crossing asylum-seekers are being held at a detention centre “black site” without proper access to phones or food, campaigners claimed today.

Refugees who recently crossed the Channel are being held temporarily in Yarl’s Wood, Bedfordshire, which closed as a women-only detention centre last month. 

Migrant solidarity campaigners went to the site yesterday to try to make contact with detainees after reports that recent arrivals were being held there without access to legal advice.
