THE HUNGER STRIKE HAS NOT ENDED.

update - thursday 27th april

The hungerstrike continues with detainees who speak out suffering harsh reprisals in the centre. Visitors and press are being denied access to the detainees. Many people's mental health is severely damaged by isolation cells and torture. Some are in a suicidal state of mind, including a 17 year old boy who is injured and currently still bleading.

Some of the Hungerstrikers from Haslar Immigration Removal Centre have been moved to Colnbrook, others have disappeared. Many still continue the hungerstrike at Colnbrook.

Amos Onokare, from Nigeria, who was refusing food at Haslar, and was quoted in "Second holding centre hit by hunger strike" in The GuardianMonday April 17, 2006, was moved to Colnbrook. His legs have been broken by officers to stop him resisting. He continues the hungerstrike.

Romeo Dzamba the victim of previous deportation has been moved out of solitary confinement after a week in the secure unit. He is one of many who has been beaten and tortured by detention officers at Colnbrook, Harmondsworth and Heathrow. Romeo has also been sexually harrassed by officers watching him in the shower and sexually assaulted by officers putting their fingers in his anus. He continues the hungerstrike.

JT was taken to the Hillingdon Hospital yesterday. He was advised to take liquids in order to preserve his organs, which he is arranging to be donated to charity. On his way to the hospital he was handcuffed so badly that his wrists are still are scarred. He continues the hungerstrike.
