    If this had happened in my country (UK) he’d be in a concentration camp by now.

    Nice to know some countries are still civilised

      Can you provide context and a source for that claim? Seems very sensational and hyperbolic

      Edited to add: it was sensational and hyperbolic. They were referring to asylum centres to reduce the cost of housing asylum seekers. There are issues here but they are certainly not concentration camps - calling them such is at minimum very disrespectful to those who have suffered and died in actual concentration camps.
