Asylum seekers housed at a controversial “prison-like” former RAF base claim they have been put in solitary confinement after complaining of depression.
The charity Care4Calais is understood to have been made aware of a number of similar allegations.
RAF Wethersfield – a remote, 800-acre site in Wethersfield, Essex, surrounded by barbed wire fences – is the government’s latest answer to housing asylum seekers. In theory, residents can come and go.
