Deaths in the asylum system are being 'brushed under the carpet' as new figures reveal 10 fatalities in Scotland since May 2020
The funeral of Badreddin Abadlla Adam, who stabbed six people in West George Street, took place at Linn Cemetery in Glasgow
The data included 11 deaths in Scotland over five years who were all under 60 years old. The Ferret is aware of one more death in the time period. Here too, deaths have escalated sharply since 2020.Campaigners claim there has been a lack of accountability and that the deaths were not properly investigated, meaning lessons that could save the lives of others have not been learned.
In total, 17 of the deaths across the UK were recorded as self/harm suicide cases, with 10 since the start of 2020. The report details that he was hospitalised due to suicidal thoughts on April 21, 2020, at which point his solicitor disclosed there had been three attempts on his own life, including while held in Dungavel Immigration Detention Centre.
The staff member did not escalate the concern as required by the company’s own guidelines, which campaigners claim meant an opportunity to intervene was missed. Qureshi confirmed her charity is providing ongoing help to several families of those who died while in the asylum system, as well as others struggling to cope.
A spokesman for Mears told The Ferret: “Following concerns raised about one of [the asylum seeking mother’s] children playing with the windows, new restrictors were fitted until alternative ground floor accommodation could be arranged.” In reply the Home Office said it is “misleading” to make this link as not everyone who died was in its accommodation at the time.
In April 2020, hundreds of asylum seekers in Glasgow were moved into hotels by Mears Group, who said the plan was part of its Covid-19 response. Hotels then used included some tourist chains. He claims that witnessing the incident has had an ongoing effect. “After the incident, I had nightmares and I couldn’t sleep,” he added. “I asked for counselling, but I’m still waiting.Sabir Zazai, chief executive of Scottish Refugee Council, said: “People seeking refugee protection in the UK arrive with the hope of living in dignity and safety and dreams of rebuilding their lives. For these lives to have ended this way is devastating.
