Asylum accommodations are retraumatising survivors of torture ASYLUM accommodations, particularly barracks and hotels, are retraumatising survivors of torture, campaigners warned today.Survivors fleeing “unimaginable” sexual and physical violence are being forced to share rooms with strangers, live in unsafe and unsanitary conditions and are repeatedly uprooted from specialist healthcare, Freedom from Torture said. The conditions trigger flashbacks, severe anxiety and a rapid decline in mental health, according to the group’s new report, A Place to Heal.
