Campaigners Demand Home Office Transparency on Asylum Seeker Deaths

AN

Campaigners are demanding the Home Office end its secrecy and begin routinely publishing data on the deaths of asylum seekers in its care. They highlight a stark accountability gap, noting that while deaths in NHS and prison settings are published quarterly, information on asylum seeker fatalities is shrouded in opacity, often accessible only via protracted Freedom of Information requests.This lack of transparency, they argue, prevents proper scrutiny of accommodation and healthcare standards, obscures potentially dangerous trends, and hinders parliamentary and independent oversight. Experts contend the data blackout is a political choice that devalues vulnerable lives and allows policy narratives to be shaped without acknowledging preventable tragedies. The call for quarterly reports is framed as a fundamental issue of dignity and accountability, essential for holding the government to its promise of safe and humane treatment and for honouring those who have died under state responsibility.
