This strike is the only thing we can do. It’s better to die than to go back to South Africa or Zimbabwe.
They alleged that, during their first hunger strike in July, the Home Office had promised to sort out our situation. That strike that saw more than 150 Zimbabweans across nine detention centres in the UK refusing food until judges intervened and stayed all removals back to Zimbabwe.
But now we are still being detained when other Zimbabweans are outside, say the women.
The United Network of Detained Zimbabweans (UNDZ) has expressed disappointment that the women have been forced to endure a second hunger strike.
The Home Office has various practical methods at their disposal that they could use to establish their true origins but appear to have chosen not to use them, said a spokesman. We urge people to continue to protest against this outrageous situation.
