CAMPAIGNERS demanded an urgent probe yesterday into dehumanising treatment of asylum-seekers in Glasgow by housing profiteers.
The Scottish Refugee Council (SRC) called on the Home Office to commission an independent investigation into claims of substandard housing and ill-treatment of refugees by Serco and its property management subcontractor Orchard and Shipman.
“These latest allegations follow recent concerning practices in Home Office-contracted asylum accommodation such as the ‘red doors’ scandal in Middlesbrough and asylum-seekers required to wear coloured wristbands in Cardiff,” said SRC head John Wilkes.
An independent probe should cover the possibility of criminality, he said.
