Scandal hits UKBA over kids detention

The Heathrow’s Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said in its annual report that children, including those suspected of being victims to “abuse or abduction”, are held in “unsuitable” stuffy rooms “almost every day and sometimes overnight.”

The IMB said the rooms lack sleeping accommodation and children sometimes have to share the premises with adults detained for other reasons, which worsens the problem.

The board called for “non-custodial, child-friendly accommodation” to be provided as a matter of urgency.”

The UKBA has tried to shift blame for the issue to BAA, which runs Heathrow.

“We share the Independent Monitoring Board’s concerns about the quality of the accommodation provided by BAA. We have raised this with them on numerous occasions in the past and will continue to do so,” UKBA said.

However, the BAA hit back at the agency saying it is “somewhat surprised by UKBA’s response, since we have had many meetings with them recently and it has not been raised.”

UKBA has recently been hit by several scandals over immigration issues including death of detainees during forced deportation processes.

The agency has also been involved in other fiascos linked to treatment of children.

A Freedom of Information revelation showed back in November 2011 that the UKBA has been holding children in a “pre-departure accommodation” in Sussex, contrary to coalition government’s former pledges, for up to seven days.
