Dear Ms Roche,

    Following the suicide of a 49 year old Lithuanian man in Harmondsworth 
detention centre on Monday 24th January 2000. We call on you to end the 
arbitrary practice of detention for asylum seekers. As this case clearly 
demonstrates, those fleeing persecution in their country of origin are often 
severely traumatised by their experiences. They need to be treated 
sensitively and humanely. However, the current procedures for their 
reception and treatment in this country are anything but sensitive and 
humane. The use of detention is extremely stressful for those involved and 
cannot be justified in the circumstances.
    Even those who are not detained now face the prospect of being sent to 
other areas of the country where they may be isolated from community 
support, especially support from their own ethnic communities. The move to a 
voucher system will also further erode their self esteem and add to their 
feelings of rejection. The prospects for those seeking refuge in this 
country are bleak and the  planned expansion of the detention system, at 
Oakington, Feltham and elsewhere, is a retrograde step which will further 
abuse some of the most vulnerable.
    We urge you to scrap the current arrangements and to introduce a system 
which recognises the very real needs of those seeking refuge and protection 
and which matches the spirit of the Convention on Human Rights.
Yours Sincerely
