Solitary confinement for Ugandan hunger Striker

In recent minutes officers at Yarl's Wood detention centre have tried to put Ugandan hunger striker Harriet Anyangokolo into solitary confinement.

As I write this C has blockaded herself into her room.

Yarl's Wood detention officers are at a stand-off with the other Ugandan hunger strikers as they formed a human shield to prevent C being moved to the isolation ward.

C is also being threatened with removal to Colnbrook detention centre and the Home Office plans to remove from the UK on Tuesday August 16.

Since the hunger strike started over three weeks ago, C has deteriorated rapidly, her TB that was never treated properly in Yarl's Wood has become reactive.

Due to her current health situation, and the amount of stress and emotional disruption, there are grave concerns about the health of C.
