 This is a message of solidarity to the Yarlswood hunger strikers. I was there a few weeks ago and I heard your stories and I raised it in Parliament the following week. I'm going to meet with Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary to raise some of the issues you raised with me and I just want to say that you have supporters out here. We believe that the way Yarlswood is run is quite wrong. You are not prisoners, you are human beings. The British state has a duty of care towards you and I'm going to see that it actually fulfills this duty of care rather than dealing with you in this dehumanising way. I've also been struck by the punitive deportations. The Home Office has been trying to push through recently and I'm opposed to those and I've been making my feelings public.
