研究結果，根據幾乎涉嫌的物理攻擊和種族惡習300個案件，在驅逐出境過程中跟隨4年的對對對私有證券公司的控制和用途的關心進行調查。 許多指控在獨立在10月去年首先被出版了，當然後部長駁回了案件作為是無確實證據的并且請求更多證據。 提供了上星期家庭秘書， Jacqui史密斯名字和細節要政府安排新對他們的情況進行調查的48請訴人。 大衛Ramsbotham，寄發報告到部長監獄的一位前首席驗查員閣下，被描述案件人事檔案如「干擾」和今天拜訪政府「認為我們的全國名譽不是某事輕微或惡意地被對待，并且，如果甚而其中一案件被證實，那共計有點一種可防止的全國恥辱」。 戴安娜Abbott， MP，認為報告是一个最可怕她讀了她擔當了MP的20年： 「這個報告是困厄和弄翻為了任何人能讀。 但為部長它是一個damning定案在他們的無能注射甚而絲毫人類入一個矢敗的移民系統」，她說。 報告的一個干擾的特點是許多惡習的指控由走向這個國家的難民做，因為他們在他們自己的國家聲稱被拷打了或被迫害了。 許多難民』傷害，由醫生經常確認』報告，建議對撤除的抵抗經常與巨大力量回面，包括拍打和kickings以及他們的手銬猛烈地被扯拽的受害者。 孩子提供數帳目作為受害者或作為證人對他們的父母的攻擊。 報告的作者-律師事務所Birnberg Peirce，醫療法官和全國聯合反驅逐出境競選-結束： “We have found an alarming and unacceptable number of injuries have been sustained by those subject to forced removals. This dossier provides evidence of widespread and seemingly systemic abuse of one of the most vulnerable communities of people in our society, who have fled their own countries seeking safety and refuge.” The report, Outsourcing Abuse, says the Government’s removal policy is driven by apparently arbitrary targets on deportation and has announced a near doubling of detention centre capacity. It warns: “Mass deportations may follow if the Government puts into effect its announcement to deal with 450,000 unresolved asylum cases within five years or less. The increased use of detention and target-driven deportations may lead to further injuries and assault allegations.” All the allegations contained in the report have been made in the past four years to immigration workers, doctors and lawyers by asylum-seekers who claim to have been abused inside immigration detention camps and security transport, at airports, or on board aircraft. The authors say many of the alleged victims can no longer be contacted as they have been deported or are too frightened to put in claims in case it has an adverse effect on their applications. Cases include that of Amos Alajaibo, a Nigerian who says he was beaten unconscious by guards after admitting he had talked to the media during a protest, and an Algerian man who was allegedly assaulted while in a wheelchair. Suren Khachatryan, an Armenian, suffered a punctured lung after allegedly being stamped on by his immigration escorts in the back of a security van. Another detainee said he was “bound up like a parcel” by officials trying to force him on to a deportation flight. A 39-year-old Ugandan, Noreen Nafuna, says she was bundled on to a flight wearing only her underwear and later punched in the face by an escort, and a 21-year-old woman from Cameroon claims that she was assaulted in front of her young daughter. In another case, HM, a 16-year-old girl from Rwanda, who claimed asylum after coming to Britain as a sex-trafficking victim, says she was assaulted by guards who removed her from a shower unit in a detention centre. She says she suffered bruising when she was handcuffed from behind in a semi-naked state and taken to a holding cell. Her claim was investigated and dismissed by the Home Office, although there was criticism of the way the guards had handled a near-naked teenager. It is understood that the UK Borders Agency has received 89 complaints since October 2006, of which three were substantiated. Another 10 were partly upheld, relating to issues such as rudeness or inefficiency. A spokesperson for the agency said: “We have been asking for this information for at least nine months. We are glad that something has finally arrived. We will review it and where necessary will refer it to the police.” Group4Securicor has told The Independent that it investigates all allegations properly and instructs its escort teams to treat all asylum-seekers with respect. Other firms have declined to comment on similar allegations. ‘I was beaten and kicked by guards’: RH, asylum-seeker from Burundi The story of Mr RH highlights the alleged abuse suffered by asylum-seekers at the hands of British security guards. He fled to the UK in 2007 after being tortured in his home country of Burundi. His application for asylum was rejected by the Home Office, and he was taken to an immigration removal centre to await deportation. In July last year, Mr RH was taken from his room by immigration escorts. He was handcuffed, and his legs were crossed at the ankle before being tied together with tape. After struggling on his way to the van, which was bound for Heathrow, he says he was beaten and kicked by the escorts before being dragged half-naked into the plane. During the alleged assault, his handcuffs caused him to incur severe injuries to his wrists which were clearly visible. The pilot came to investigate, and told the escorts he would not fly Mr RH out of the country in his state at the time. After being returned, RH was examined by a medical officer. However, a later examination by an independent doctor revealed that this officer had only made limited notes about some of Mr RH’s injuries, while others were not documented. Although he has since been released from detention and has recovered, Mr RH’s case still hangs in the balance and he remains threatened with removal.
