Thousands of potential trafficking victims have been detained in immigration removal centres in less than two years, new figures show.
Ministers have been accused of failing to protect survivors of modern slavery after new data revealed more than 2,000 people recognised by the government as having indicators of trafficking were placed in detention during a 21-month period.
Campaigners said this demonstrated flaws in the government’s system for identifying and protecting trafficking victims, and accused ministers of treating these individuals like “criminals” on the basis of their immigration status.
