MIGRANTS and campaigners assembled outside Glasgow’s Home Office building yesterday to protest against unreported deaths in custody after a man took his life in an obscure British detention centre.

The demonstration was called by asylum-seekers’ charity Unity Centre after the death of a 30-year-old Ugandan national in the Verne prison in Portland, Dorset, on Friday.

Campaigners cried foul after the alleged suicide went unreported by the media despite a recent inspection of the centre revealing that its “poor conditions were inappropriate.”

Unity Centre spokeswoman Mia Light told the Star: “We are going out to protest because someone just killed themselves and the media is silent about it.”

Last week’s tragedy was not the first death at the Verne — a stateless man called Bruno Dos Santos had previously been found dead in his cell.
