Home Office urged to be transparent about deaths of asylum seekers in its care Campaigners call for quarterly data to be published in line with other departments instead of FoI route Human rights and refugee campaigners are calling on the Home Office to be transparent about the numbers of asylum seekers who die in its care by publishing quarterly data as other government departments do.

However, the NHS produces regular figures about deaths in hospitals and the Ministry of Justice does so with deaths in custody. Continue reading...

Built to Harm: how women's prisons take lives 3 December 2025

🚨 NEW REPORT: Built to Harm: how women's prisons take lives

From 2018–24, 59 people died in women’s prisons in England & Wales, nearly 40% self-inflicted.

The report shows many deaths could have been prevented if successive governments had acted on long-standing calls to end women’s imprisonment.

Legal framework for using facial recognition in law enforcement The government is launching a consultation to help develop a new legal framework for the use of facial recognition and similar technologies by law enforcement.
