A pregnant mother suffered a miscarriage after she was separated from her husband and left to look after her five children in “deplorable” conditions at Manston detention centre, the High Court has heard.
Details of the harrowing case were revealed as part of an application for a judicial review into the home secretary’s refusal to have an inquiry into the overcrowding at the short-term holding facility for asylum seekers. Some 10,600 individuals passed through the Kent detention centre between October and December 2022, the court heard.
