Around 50 detainees at the Campsfield immigration removal centre in Oxfordshire are on hunger strike. The protest began after the suicide of a Kurdish man, who was sent back to Iraq. Fazzel Abdul, who is also Kurdish, explains why the detainees are on hunger strike; and Keith Best, the chief executive of the Immigration Advisory Service, explains what is being done.
