Welcome to Britain
Large-scale disturbances are taking place in the UK’s largest immigration detention centre.
Police, prison officers and fire crews were called to the Harmondsworth centre, west London, in the early hours after a number of fires were started.
About 50 detainees have been seen in a courtyard spelling out the words help and SOS with bed sheets.
A prisons’ watchdog report criticised the centre’s regime this week after repeated disturbances there.
