Deaths and hunger-strikes

Several detainees have committed suicide while held in Harmondsworth. Robertas Grabys was found hanged in 2000,[3][4] Sergey Barnuyck was found hanged in 2004,[5][6] and Bereket Yohannes was found hanged in 2006.[4][7] An 84-year-old Canadian with Alzheimer's disease, Alois Dvorzac, died there in January 2014.[8]

The Nigerian asylum-seeker Ifa Muaza went on hunger strike in 2013.[9] In April 2015, over 200 detainees joined in a collective hunger-strike, which subsequently spread to Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre.[10]
