Government fails to follow recommendations to prevent abuse at immigration detention centre
A protest outside Brook House in 2022
THE government’s failure to follow through on recommendations to prevent abuse at Brook House shows a complete disregard to those held in inhumane conditions, campaigners warned yesterday.
Today marks one year since a public inquiry published its final report exposing the abuse suffered by those held at the immigration detention centre near Gatwick Airport.
The report found that there had been 19 incidents of mistreatment of detainees over a five-month period in 2017.
