A suicidal asylum seeker who fled persecution in Eastern Africa and is now set to be deported to Rwanda has been told by detention authorities to “get a haircut” or “try aromatherapy” to improve his poor mental health.
Moti*, who is currently being held at Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre, says he has suffered “horrific” treatment since arriving in England last month and would take his own life if he had the means to do so, adding that he has been denied counselling and mental health support.
