Death of 26-year-old at Brook House comes a year after Albanian man died there after attempting suicide

The inquiry found there had been 19 incidents of mistreatment against detainees over a five-month period in 2017. The government has been criticised over its reaction to the inquiry, with the chair, Kate Eves – appointed by the then-Conservative government to lead the probe – calling in September for a “reset” on an “inadequate” response to her recommendations.
The Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group, which supports detainees at Brook House, said “no one should take their last breath” at the centre. Paying tribute to the man who died, the charity said on X: “On the death of a man in detention yesterday we send heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and everyone who knew and loved him.
“Brook House has gained notoriety for violence, racism and abuse. What part this may have in this man’s death we do not yet know, but these degradations derive from a wider failure to make a system respect human dignity and rights. The charity made reference to Frank Ospina who died last March while he was being detained at Colnbrook immigration removal centre, in West Drayton, Middlesex, pending his removal to Colombia. A jury at an inquest into his death found that he had died by suicide.
