HL Deb 07 March 2003 vol 645 c140WA
The Earl of Sandwich

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What conclusions they have drawn from the suicide in custody of Mikail Bodnarchuk on the day of his removal to Ukraine from immigration removal centre Haslar in January; and whether they will review their own evidence of torture in Ukraine in the Home Office country assessment. [HL1932]

Lord Filkin

The investigation into the death in immigration detention of Mikail Bodnarchuk is continuing. It would be premature to draw any conclusions until this investigation is complete.

The country assessment for Ukraine is currently being revised and will be published in April. It will include the latest available information on the human rights situation in the Ukraine.
