Falsified welfare checks by prison officers and a nurse's faked medical notes contributed to the death of vulnerable inmate who spent 53 days in seg with no radio,no TV and no phone. CCTV tells some of this story. https://t.co/mvajdmXj4z via @Channel4News

Cranston Inquiry chair says some of the deaths in the 2021 channel boat migrant tragedy were avoidable. At least 31 people drowned when their boat was swamped but mistakes made by HM Coastguard in handling distress calls that night and overall failure in gathering information

Mr Robinson added "These costs escalated because of the egregious delay by the Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary in agreeing to end their detention and relocate them"

A multi-million pound lawsuit is underway for the unlawful detention of Sri Lankan Tamil men,women and children for 3 years on the British Indian Ocean Territory of Diego Garcia

[simon israel @simonisrael]

Lawyer for some families, Simon Robinson at Duncan Lewis said " their unlawful detention was at a cost of £108,000 a day to the UK taxpayer. The substantial damages which will now be owed will add to these costs...."

At the age of seven, with the loss of his mother in a car accident and his father turning to drink, put Erwin on a pathway he never thought imaginable.

Apologies - miscalculation of days in detention on Diego Garcia for the asylum seeking Tamils. It's actually even longer and amounts to 1155 days imprisoned in a camp little bigger than a football pitch for these families which include 16 children. Astonishing

[simon israel @simonisrael]

55 of those Tamil men,women and children have recently been brought to the UK to be resettled here after attempts to send them to other countries failed.

[simon israel @simonisrael]

A High Court judge has ruled that 64 Tamil asylum seekers were 'unlawfully detained' for up to 1099 days in a camp on the secret UK/US military base of Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
