An asylum seeker in Napier Barracks has just sent me this photo of 8 Covid test result letters: 4 positive and 4 negative. These 8 people all have to sleep in the same dorm (along with 6 others).

'They've just left us to all get sick,' said the man, who has just tested positive

Twenty-nine #asylumseekers have died in #HomeOffice accommodation so far this year – five times as many as those who have lost their lives on perilous Channel small boat crossings over the same period. https://t.co/7icWcxxlLR

Detaining innocent people indefinitely during a coronavirus pandemic is particularly abhorrent https://t.co/vEJ2R5Irej #detentioncentres #humanrights #enddetentionnow #asylum #immigration #UK

#ThePowerofVote can play a crucial role in shaping an #EU policy that utilises alternatives to detention.

RT If you want a #Europe that makes detention in asylum and migration procedures a policy of the past.

WE WON! The High Court has ruled that the “right to rent” causes racism and cannot be reformed. The Government MUST scrap the scheme #hostileenvironment

Really recommend the play #WelcometotheUK by @PSYCHE_delight. Brilliantly portrays the awful way the UK treats asylum seekers and v fun to watch. Actors had recent first hand experience & devised the play together https://t.co/J4NwI7sMl3 #BorderlineBunker #asylum #enddetentionnow

MT @libertyhq 11 Tory MPs have written to Sajid Javid demandg a 28-day time limit on immigrtn detention. The UK is the only country in Europe to tear people away from their families & friends and lock them up without release dates. It's #Time4aTimeLimit https://t.co/UQV3RR69cc …
