BREAKING: Young asylum seeker on roof of @CrownePlaza threatening to kill himself - fire brigade there. neglect of asylum seekers in these hotels & extreme isolation of places like Crowne Plaza make deaths inevitable #RefugeesWelcome #EndDetention #EndDeportations (thread 1/8) 
Almost 400 asylum seekers in this one hotel, inc families & children, inc severely disabled children - we’ve known people left without a GP for 4-6 months despite serious health conditions #RefugeesWelcome #EndDetention (2/8)
This is hand of one mother @CrownePlaza whose been begging for a GP apt for months, this painful condition covers a lot of her body & she has no treatment plan - her young daughters have had tooth pain for a month & no dentist apt (3/8)
One man with diabetes has been trying to get a GP for 4 months, he’s already been taken to A&E after collapsing, 5 times he’s had to go to hospital for everyday medication - this from the last visit.#RefugeesWelcome (4/8)
That same man has been without any asylum support, zero income since arrival - no means to supplement the awful food in the hotel, no means to travel or buy necessary items - others still only getting £8 a week to live on #RefugeesWelcome (5/8)
hotel full of people who’ve been through deeply traumatic experiences yet zero mental health support & waiting months just to be registered with a GP. There have been at least 3 deaths in this @CrownePlaza hotel in just one year - blood is on hands of @ukhomeoffice (6/8)
asylum seekers in @CrownePlaza “not allowed” to register themselves with GP - task farmed out to another private co who “allocate” residents to GPs- process long & leaves people reliant on overstretched A&E depts but someone’s still making profit out of their misery (7/8)
Hotel detention needs to end, people need papers, the right to work, study, move, get on with their lives. End the torture of limbo, dispersal (being moved around the country at a moments notice to isolated communities) and inadequate accommodation. SHUT DOWN CROWNE PLAZA (8/8)
