Nine out ten people in immigration detention centres were taken to hospital in handcuffs, an inquest into the death of Alois Dvorzak heard yesterday.
Dvorzak, a frail 84 year old, was taken to Hillingdon Hospital in handcuffs twice. He died there on the second visit, on 10 February 2013. Dvorzak was shackled to a security guard by a six foot long chain for more than five hours before he took his last breath.
