Leonard Farruk

New details are revealed which could have prevented the tragic ending of Leonard Farruk's life on the hotel ship in the South of England where the Home Office had accommodated him.

Diane Taylor, journalist of The Guardian, has discovered that the concern that the 27-year-old Albanian had mental health problems was not taken into consideration.

In the article referred to by Top Channel it is emphasized that "a social worker had repeatedly conveyed to the Home Office the concerns of the company contracted by the Home Office (the English Ministry of Home Affairs) about Leonard's mental health before he was sent to the hotel ship". But these concerns were ignored.

The social worker stated to The Guardian that:

"Everyone knew Leonard as "Faruk". He suffered from severe mood swings. He was abandoned for a long time in every direction. I have been really worried about Leonard and several times he has had severe mental health crises."

The same social worker among the last people met by Leonard Farruku states that:

"There are many important moments in this story which must be told as I am convinced they will be repeated, if pressure is not put on those who have the responsibility of care and whose duty it is to fulfill it properly"

Further in his confession, this social worker shows that Leonard Farruku was extremely scared when he was told that he had to go to the hotel ship and refused to go. He was lied to in a car and told he would be taken to another hotel in Swindon town.

The family of Albanian immigrant Leonard Farruku, who ended his life on the hotel ship on December 12, 2023, has requested an independent investigation into what happened at the Bibby Stockholm accommodation.

The Guardian newspaper writes that lawyers for Leonard's family have sent a request to the English Minister for Justice Alex Chalk where they ask him to ask the state prisons attorney (PPO) to investigate his death.

For the prisons lawyer, English law requires this institution to investigate all deaths of immigrants in asylum seekers detention centers, but in this case the hotel ship where Leonard Farruku was kept is not classified as a closed center where immigrants are kept who have described it as a " jail".

In the request drafted by the Bhatt Murphy law firm, it is argued that the hotel ship should be considered a detention center for immigrants and in such conditions the prisons attorney should initiate an independent investigation into the circumstances of Leonard Farruk's death.
