Migrant begs for help in message in a bottle

A young girl being held at a migrant processing centre in Kent has thrown a message in a bottle over its fence, saying pregnant women and sick people there need help.

The letter, written in broken English, said 50 families had been held at the Manston unit for more than 30 days.

It described conditions as like a prison and was addressed to “journalists, organisations, everyone”.

The Home Office said it provided for all migrants’ basic needs.

The government has faced criticism after reports that Manston was holding migrants, including families, for four weeks, in breach of the law. It is intended people stay for no more than 24 hours while their claim is processed.
