Dungavel detainee: immigration said they’d deport me … without my baby

Scottish Socialist Party MP Rosie Kane said: “The imprisonment of the Ikolo family is staggering. It is indescribably cruel and nothing but child abuse. To lock up a woman simply because she is from another country is just racist.”

Kane also attacked the Executive for failing to take on Westminster over the detention of children. Immigration is a power reserved to the Home Office, and Executive ministers have refused to speak out . “By failing to speak out the Executive is encouraging racism,” Kane said.
