Asylum seekers escape from centre
Four asylum seekers threatened with deportation have escaped from their detention centre.
The Sri Lankan men in their 20s and 30s scaled a perimeter fence at the Haslar Immigration Detention Centre in Gosport, Hants, early on Sunday.
A police spokesman said: "The four, all Sri Lankan nationals, were being held under Home Office immigration orders pending appeal and deportation. The males pose no threat to the public."
The men were in civilian clothing and only one speaks good English, the spokesman added.
Earlier this year several inmates at the centre started a brief hunger strike in protest at being kept in what they claimed were bad conditions.
