Manchester: death in immigration detention
Tahir Mehmood, a 43-year-old Pakistani man, has died in Pennine House, a short-term holding facility near Manchester airport.
Other deaths
The suggestion that the death might be the result of a ‘medical episode’ is part of a pattern. Most recently, at the end of March, another Pakistani man, 52-year-old Khalid Shahzad, died (unaccompanied) on a train to the northwest hours after he was released on medical grounds from Colnbrook.[4] And in July 2011, yet another Pakistani man, Muhammad Shukat, died after suffering a heart attack in Colnbrook. In May 2012, an inquest jury recorded a highly critical verdict that found neglect had contributed to his death. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) made a number of recommendations in relation to healthcare following its investigation into his care at two detention centres (Harmondsworth and Colnbrook).[5]
