This is scandal, but not a surprise.

This cannot be the best the UK has to offer vulnerable people who have fled war and persecution.
We call for an immediate closure of the barracks. All residents must be moved to safe accommodation, granted access to adequate healthcare and be allowed to properly isolate.
