Activists from Stand Up to Racism hold a demonstration outside the Home Office's Glasgow Immigration Enforcement Reporting Centre
SIX asylum-seekers held at an ex-army camp have launched legal action against the Home Office over conditions at the site, which they claim amounts to “false imprisonment.”
The claimants are seeking to shut down Penally camp in Pembrokeshire, Wales, which was repurposed in September as a facility to house up to 236 men seeking asylum.
They argue that the conditions in the camp, where about 200 men are held in barracks surrounded by barbed wire fences and manned by security guards, constitute “false imprisonment” and a “deprivation of liberty.”
