High Court: Hundreds of asylum seekers and torture victims CAN sue UK government for illegal detention
‘A landmark High Court ruling has paved the way for hundreds of torture victims who were illegally detained by the British government to sue the state for damages.
Asylum seekers who were forced to flee sexual violence and torture in their home countries waged a test case against Home Secretary Theresa May for imprisoning them in immigration detention centers.
The detainment of these asylum seekers was conducted in breach of UK regulations, which stipulate that torture survivors should not be detained. Nevertheless, swathes of traumatized torture victims who were seeking asylum in the UK were incarcerated under the state’s fast-track (DFT) system.’
