UK’s ‘one in, one out’ scheme has failed to protect torture survivors, says charity

Medical Justice report finds Home Office approach has led to ‘near total disregard for identified vulnerabilities’

The Home Office has been accused of failing to protect survivors of trafficking and torture detained as part of the government’s “one in, one out” scheme.

Medical Justice, a charity that sends independent clinicians into immigration detention centres, has surveyed 33 detainees waiting to be returned to France by the Home Office in a new report, the first to assess the welfare of this group of detainees.
