Speaking in response to the first annual report of the official watchdog monitoring treatment of deportees, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott said:
“This report presents a troubling picture of the way deportees are treated.
“Inhumane treatment can never be justified. Where deportation is appropriate, it should always be conducted in a reasonable, effective and humane way. We cannot allow a climate of hostility to spill over into mistreatment of anyone. The Government needs to act to ensure there is no recurrence.”
