Migrants at US detention centre forced to eat ‘like dogs’: Report

Migrants at a detention centre in Florida were forced to eat “like dogs”, with their hands tied behind their backs, an international watchdog said in a report. Human Rights Watch, which gathered testimony from detainees, relatives and lawyers, documented alleged abuses at three centres in southern Florida and said people were subjected to degrading treatment, lack of medical care and overcrowding. Former detainee Harpinder Chauhan,56, a British entrepreneur and father of two, recounted an incident in April in which dozens of men were denied food for hours. They were allegedly crammed into a single cell with their feet shackled and hands tied behind their backs.
