Forcing people into small cells in harsh, prison-like facilities and preventing proper support is cruel and totally unacceptable. We urge the government to change course on this deal and stop harming people who have already lived through war, torture and trauma.

Billions of £ have been wasted on ineffective asylum accommodation. Safe, community-based and cost-efficient housing is possible and should be a priority, if only on medical grounds.
