"Asylum seekers at a detention centre in the United Kingdom are not being given adequate access to emergency care, a doctor recently called in to attend to two Zimbabwean detainees on hunger strike said last week. He also said that claims by detainees being held at Harmondsworth Detention and Deportation Centre, west London, that they were tortured in Zimbabwe do not seem to have been properly investigated. "
