| Subject: UK gulag: ‘Deeply disturbing’: Children held at migrant detention center despite govt pledge Wed Feb 04, 2015 4:12 am | |
| Three children were imprisoned at a UK immigration detention center despite the government’s prior commitment to end the practice, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons has found. The independent prisons watchdog carries out regular inspections of jails in England and Wales, and reports on the conditions. Following a recent probe, the body concluded children had been detained in Campsfield House, Oxfordshire, in 2012 and 2013. The revelation has come as a surprise to many, following the government’s pledge to end the imprisonment of child immigrants in 2010. Judith Dennis, who works for the Refugee Council, said the revelation that migrant children could be “thrown into adult detention centers” in Britain is “deeply disturbing.” She told the BBC it is well known that “unaccompanied children arrive in the UK alone, frightened and often traumatized.” Dennis argued the government appears so determined to lock up asylum seekers that it is wrongly imprisoning young children in the process. “It's high time the inhumane, inefficient and expensive practice of detaining asylum seekers is consigned to the history books, where it belongs,” she said.
