A彡's video: Tasting Freedom The struggles of asylum seekers in Britain their abuse in detention centres

Whilst watching this...keep in mind.. The treatment of the Windrush generation, Yarl’s Wood sexual abuse and hunger strikes, and the inhumane deportations intercepted by the Stansted 15, & the whole “hostile environment” policy. 26 year's later...HAS ANYTHING REALLY CHANGED? (1994) Tasting Freedom' documents the struggles of asylum seekers in Britain for recognition of their basic human rights and investigates abuses on asylum seekers in detention centres and prisons. The documentary gives a startling account of how people who have come to Britain to find freedom are instead persecuted. The film contains unprecedented interviews with detainees who speak about the abuses they have suffered under Britain's immigration laws and documents deaths in detention centres and prisons including that of Zairian asylum seeker Omasase Lumumba who was killed by prison officers in Pentonville in 1991. The documentary closely follows the struggles of the detainees including hunger strikes, revolts and uprisings. They give first hand accounts of how they organised themselves during these protests and the measures used by the immigration service to suppress them. Despite being ignored by the media and isolated from the outside world the film documents the courage and determination of people prepared to stand up for their rights even at the cost of their own lives. One thing has remained the same with every UK government - the detention, as well as the deaths, of asylum seekers. Against all that, the resistance against abuses continue - mass hunger strikes and protests have taken place at Campsfield House recently and other detention centers. We would urge you to support these protests when they occur to bring an end to the torture and oppression that refugees are subjected to in the UK which, as 'Tasting Freedom' highlights, is what they are trying to escape from.
