Torture in a land of safety: slow violence and immigration control in the UnitedKkingdom
We often think of torture in relation to forced migration as something that happens in the regimes from which asylum seekers/refugees flee.

| 520 | |a We often think of torture in relation to forced migration as something that happens in the regimes from which asylum seekers/refugees flee. I argue in this chapter that torture is also something that happens in places of refuge, although it may not take the forms that we most associate with torture. I focus here on the more diffuse, less visible, and less overtly violent practices of the UK asylum system. I argue that UK policy toward asylum seekers constitutes a form of (slow) violence which intentionally produces misery, mental health problems, and severe social isolation for those subjected to it. Those subjected to this treatment are not the only targets of these policies. They are also intended to send a message to would-be asylum seekers, or irregularised migrants who might consider coming to the United Kingdom. As such, UK asylum policy can and should be understood as a form of torture or, at the very least, as a form of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. | ||
