Disturbing Details Revealed About Migrant Detentions Under Scrapped Rwanda Scheme

Recent disclosures have unveiled alarming testimonies from Home Office staff, revealing the use of force against distressed migrants detained under the now-scrapped Rwanda deportation scheme. Documents obtained by The Observer and Liberty Investigates highlight the inhumane conditions faced by migrants, with multiple instances of attempted self-harm during detentions carried out under Operation Vector, just before the May 2024 general elections.

Key revelations include:

  • The use of force 60 times in less than three weeks, often involving distressed migrants.
  • Migrants reportedly restrained and detained despite severe distress.
  • Legal action is brewing as charity groups prepare to challenge the wrongful detention of 150 migrants, claiming the scheme was merely political theatre.

This revelation adds weight to criticisms of the Rwanda deportation plan and raises concerns about the future treatment of migrants under new government policies.
