"Indiscriminately rush in and fight!"
According to the information provided by Mr. Chen, on the evening of July 5th, at the Campsfield House Immigration Repatriation Center in Oxford, six China male laborers, including Xiao Yang, Xiao Wu and Xiao Guan, were beaten by a group of black people who were also waiting for repatriation. Xiao Yang, a native of Liaoning, studied in the UK, but stayed in the UK after his visa expired. He was sent to the repatriation center while working in a restaurant. He is the only one who can use English at the party. After the incident, he wrote an incident report in English (forum) and handed it to an immigration officer of the Border Agency on July 13.
According to his account in this report, on the morning of July 5, black immigrants provoked several Chinese in the common room of the repatriation center. In the morning, Xiao Yang and his companions were playing table tennis in the lounge, and a China man was watching and chatting with them. Suddenly several black people called him names for no reason. "Look, but don't talk!" China people asked, "Why can't we even talk?" "When this statement came out, it was abused by the black people present. When four people from China protested, several blacks beat them first, and two of them from China were quarantined by the repatriation center for fighting back.
Xiao Yang guessed that the attack at night had something to do with the incident in the morning. "On the evening of 5th, seven immigrants from China were in the room, except one who was taking a bath and six people were playing cards. The door of the room is unlocked. Just as everyone was having fun, eight or nine men in black suddenly broke into the room and rushed in indiscriminately to kill people. One of them is Xiao Zhang, a laborer in China, who was sitting with his back to the door at the time of the crime. He was the closest to the door and was completely unprepared, so he was the most seriously injured. He was covered in blood and couldn't afford to fall to the ground. Several other China workers were also injured to varying degrees. "
"I feel sick, but I won't see a doctor!"
In the interviews with Xiao Yang, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wu, they all reported that they had not received effective treatment and reasonable resettlement from Campsfield House Repatriation Center after being beaten.
Xiao Yang told reporters on the phone, "After all the people who beat us ran away, the security guard came to the repatriation center and sent Xiao Zhang, who was the most seriously injured and couldn't afford to fall to the ground, to the hospital. Although the other workers who were beaten were not as serious as Xiao Zhang, they were also suffering from unbearable pain, dizziness, nausea and tinnitus. We asked the management of the repatriation center to send everyone to the hospital for examination and treatment and were told that a doctor would come the next day. It's past midnight 1 o'clock, and I believe this answer. Later, we asked to visit two compatriots who were isolated in the morning. At first, the people in the repatriation center didn't allow it, but then suddenly they allowed it, saying that all six people had to leave. As a result, after we entered the isolation room, we were never released. At 8 o'clock the next morning, the security guard locked the door of the isolation room that was originally open from the outside, and we completely lost our freedom. At noon, after 1 1, the uniformed riot police were transferred to other repatriation centers in batches. "
The reporter immediately contacted Xiao Wu who was beaten. Xiao Wu angrily condemned the repatriation center's behavior. "They said let's go to the isolation room to visit our compatriots, but we won't let them out anymore. The conditions in the isolation room are very poor. There are three small rooms with only seven or eight square meters, and one room has eight people. The repatriation center promised that a doctor would come the next day. As a result, we were all taken away by riot police, and we didn't see the doctor until noon. I didn't eat breakfast or lunch the next day. We also called the police and did not see the police understand the situation. "
Xiao Wu also provided a supplementary information. He has been coughing for three or four weeks continuously, and it is even serious enough to affect others' rest at night. He tried to ask the repatriation center for medicine, but all he got was sleeping pills. Xiao Wu said that the nurse in the infirmary of the repatriation center said, "I stopped coughing when I fell asleep after taking sleeping pills."
After the incident, the parties said that the perpetrators were still haunted and deeply traumatized because they were not punished and treated well. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the British border management authorities to varying degrees.
The Border Agency responded that the center was operating well.
When the reporter got in touch with the migrant workers in China, he also got in touch with the Emigration Repatriation Center in kamps, hoping that the center or its management agency would verify, explain and respond to the whole incident.
A spokesperson for the British Border Agency said, "We don't comment on the details of this matter. Campsfield House, a repatriation center set up for repatriated illegal immigrants, operates well and is safe and reliable. "
"In its report in June, the Independent Oversight Committee also praised their employees for their concern about the lives of detainees."
Another Englishman, who asked not to be named, said that according to his understanding, Campsfield House gave the detainees proper medical care and three meals.
At the same time, the Chinese embassy in Britain has also learned about the incident and handled it accordingly. The Consular Section of the Embassy stated that the Embassy has expressed its concern to the British side, and suggested that the parties in need seek legal advice from the repatriation center and provide reference information on the current legal services in the UK, hoping that the parties can handle this matter rationally and ensure their own safety.
