Well, that's nice. Glad they don't even consider sending him back or something. Hope he gets out of this well.
If this had happened in my country (UK) he'd be in a concentration camp by now.
Nice to know some countries are still civilised
That’s literally what concentration camps are. Points where you “concentrate” a population you’re trying to control.
Outright murdering the people you have in them was a Nazi death camp thing, but the Brits were probably most famous for using them before that while attempting to suppress colonial rebellion.
My apartment in America is a concentration camp ☹️
You joke, buy people have been pointing that out for decades now. There is a reason the term Ghetto is still a common descriptor for these areas to this day...
"Ghettos" aren't just apartments; they're specifically segregated (and not by the minority's choice) and often substandard/impoverished/oppressed.
Trying to equate ghettos with mere high density is nothing but racist NIMBY bullshit.
If there apartment seems like a concentration camp then it is likely subsidized housing, which is statistically likely to be part of a ghetto.
I have nothing against high density, living... the top commentor said their apartment feels like a concentration camp, and my point is that it essentially could be.
Feel free to be smug when the floating death trap of an "asylum center" burns up like Grenfell 🥴
He means a boat

We're talking about the existence of of the camp here, not how it will be expected to run.
Are you questioning the existence of the camp on the fact this is a torygraph article.
Bibby Stockholm has been in the news recently, i would consider that a concentration camp too. Temporary structure in which asylum seekers are to be concentrated
Paywall. ☹️

Or Rwanda. They love sending immigrants to Rwanda.
They haven't actually managed to send anyone yet have they? Courts keep blocking them
You are correct. Braverman and Sunak are appealing the decision by the Court of Appeal because they're inhuman but so far no one has been sent to Rwanda just yet.
They've also said they want to take away our human rights laws and leave the ECHR. Once they take away all those pesky human rights we'll be all set. I, for one, am sick of all these fucking humans acting as if the human societies that humans built should serve humans and protect humans and encourage humans to prosper. Humans rights? Makes me sick. Can't wait to get rid of them and show these humans who really matters, the people really in charge: [character limit reached]
I hear they have a really nice hotel there.
