Those left behind in UK immigration centers are threatened with deportation

According to the Refugee Action report titled “Hostile Accommodation”, conditions in immigration centers and hotels where approximately 100,000 asylum seekers are held also affect the mental and mental health of immigrants.

Refugees staying in rooms where they cannot receive visitors and meet their basic needs are sometimes exposed to racist attacks.

The immigrants, who experience the situation described as “de facto detention” in the report, are unable to contact the outside world and seek their legal rights due to the restrictions they experience in communication and transportation.

In the report, which indicated that approximately 50,000 people applied for asylum in immigration centers and received asylum support, it was also indicated that this support was 9.50 pounds (220 lira) per week.

The report also indicated that the first declaration on the application was made 6 months after the asylum applications, and it was emphasized that the financial aid began months later.

THOSE RESIDING IN MIGRANT CENTERS EXPERIENCE HEALTH PROBLEMS

The living conditions in the centers also affect the health of immigrants. According to the report, 51 percent of those who remain in immigration centers complain about overcrowding, 36 percent of them cannot meet their basic needs and 19 percent about hygiene conditions.

According to a survey of people staying at immigration centers in Manchester, Birmingham and London, 56 percent of respondents said they had a health problem, while 71 percent said their mental health had worsened.

While 75 percent of immigrants say the food is bad, 90 percent think the centers are not suitable for children, but the report also noted that voicing these complaints met with negative feedback for immigrants, saying: ” People who complain about the immigration centers are deported to Rwanda by the police or are also threatened with a ban on the use of common areas.” Expressions were used.

Emphasizing that health-threatening diseases are transmitted and unhealthy food consumed in crowded immigration centers, the report also includes views on the illegal immigration bill announced by the government to combat irregular migration.

It was noted that the bill would place a greater burden on immigration centers and make conditions even more difficult. (AA)
