NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A young girl detained at Manston has begged for help via a message thrown thrown to journalists over barbed wires.
Her handwritten letter describes the conditions at the so-called processing centre in Kent as a ‘prison’ where food ‘makes people feel sick’, and claimed there were pregnant women and ill detainees there.
Written in broken English and addressed to ‘journalists, organisations, everyone’, it appeared to suggest at least 50 families had been held at the facility for more than a month.
The girl wrote: ‘We are in a difficult life now… we fill like we’re in prison. Some of us very sick… ther’s some women’s that are pregnant they don’t do anything for them. We really need your help. Please help us.’
