| Subject: Good: UK Govt threatened with legal action over ‘humiliation & abuse’ at immigration center Thu Oct 19, 2017 6:17 am | |
| The UK Home Office has been threatened with legal action unless it opens an inquiry into the awarding of government contracts to firms such as security giant G4S, after alleged “humiliation and abuse” of immigrants at a privately-run detention center.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has given Home Secretary Amber Rudd two weeks to organize a probe into her department’s awarding of private sector contracts or face the prospect of a forced investigation.
The UK’s equality watchdog was responding to a recently aired BBC Panorama documentary, in which an undercover reporter filmed an incident of “choking” and other episodes of alleged mistreatment at the Brook House Immigration Removal Center (IRC), near Gatwick Airport.
