Hussein Haseeb Ahmed sought safety here. Instead, he was held at 'squalid' Manston, where he contracted diphtheria.
He died aged 31.
Hussein is one of far too many who've lost their lives to our hostile asylum system. We have to do better.

If the Government won't record the deaths die in our hostile asylum system, we cannot save future lives.
And it sends the appalling message that the deaths of people seeking sanctuary don't matter.
Every death is a tragedy. We must #KnowTheirNames
🚨People are dying in the hostile asylum system.
Tragically, lives are being lost. But we don't know how many, and often, who.
We must #KnowTheirNames.

This week, the House of Lords will debate an amendment from @TheGreenParty (first brought to the Commons by Labour's @NadiaWhittomeMP ) that would ensure the Government has to record every one of these tragedies.
It's time to #KnowTheirNames
Tomorrow @houseoflords.parliament.uk will have the chance to vote on amendment 76 tabled by @greenjennyjones.bsky.social that would require Government to record and report on fatalities in the asylum system so no death is ignored.

On Tuesday @greenjennyjones.bsky.social will be retabling an amendment @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social laid in the Commons that would require Government to report on deaths at the border and within the asylum system.
Who could possibly oppose this?
#KnowTheirNames
The UK Government count applications, decisions, and removals.
But they don’t count the human cost of a system that forces people into danger to seek safety.
A humane asylum system would protect lives, not end them.
#KnowTheirNames
At least 133 people died whilst trying to seek safety in the UK last year - the deadliest year on record.
Yet the Government doesn’t officially count these deaths.
Each death is a tragedy. These fatalities must not be ignored.
The law must change so we can #KnowTheirNames.
Image of two lit candles and text which reads "2024 was the deadliest year on record for people seeking asylum in the UK. But our Government still refuses to record these deaths. #KnowTheirNames"
While headlines focus on how many people claim asylum in the UK, there's one number that's not even officially counted:
The number of people who die while trying to seek sanctuary here.
We know our policies kill people. Their deaths must not be ignored.
#KnowTheirNames
Red and white text on black background: "We know 2024was the deadliest year ever for people seeking sanctuary in the UK. We know at least 82 people died in the Channel. 14 of them were children. We know at least 51 people died in asylum accommodation. Almost 1 in 3 of them died by suicide. But we don't know exactly how many people died. We don't record their names. We don't know exactly how or why they died. No one's death should be ignored. It's time to know their names."
We know people seeking asylum are dying: but Government won't even record their deaths. We can't save lives without knowing how people are dying & why.
Today, Lords debate a Borders Bill amendment to ensure these deaths can't be swept under the rug.
It's time to #KnowTheirNames
Shocking! How is it possible? Surely the number!
