Channel migrants ‘in for compensation over being detained in inhumane conditions’: Anti-Rwanda lawyers lodge claims

5 comments

1. An army of tax payer paid lawyers is at hand to assist and tell them what to say and what to do to rip the most while it lasts

2. This fucking pyramid scheme needs to end

3. That’s going to go down like a cup of cold vomit x

4. If they don’t like the conditions here then they should knob off back to where they came from.

   The parasitical lawyers should be ashamed of themselves.

5. Bad faith journalism, yet again.

   Firstly, what on earth is an anti-Rwanda lawyer? Human rights group claims are taken on by private firms, this is not legal aid.

   Secondly – and well buried in the article – are the circumstances of the claim. “Among the allegations are physical abuse, sexual assault, guards thieving property, as well as dirty and cold conditions, scabies and outbreaks of diphtheria.”

   To be clear, the government used your taxes to give a detention centre contract to a company responsible for those conditions. But yeah, sure, it’s the lawyers you need to be angry about…
