He died in
handcuffs while detained at Harmondsworth detention centre - an 84-year-old
Canadian with Alzheimer's. Until now we only knew a name: Alois Dvorzac. But
who was the man behind the tragedy?
Until now, all
we knew about Alois Dvorzac came compliments of a paragraph in a report by HM
Inspector of Prisons in January.
The report,
based on a spot check of Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre, said:
"The 84 year old Canadian man had been refused entry to the UK at Gatwick
airport on the 23 January 2013."
It went on to
explain that despite being declared unfit for detention he ended up dying, in
handcuffs, while still in detention two weeks later.
