A YOUNG Vietnamese man who was trafficked into Britain as a child lost his case yesterday that the Home Office’s alleged failure to provide him with support in immigration detention was “illustrative of systemic failings.”
The man, referred to only as H, was 16 or 17 when he was trafficked into Britain to work on a cannabis farm, where he was arrested in October 2013.
He absconded and was not located until February 2016, when he was detained and eventually sentenced to eight months imprisonment for cannabis production.
