About 100 people took part in a protest at Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre over the weekend.

Campaigners say the centre should be shut after four people died there within a year.

It's also alleged there are high levels of drug-taking, violence between inmates and incidents of self-harm.

The Home Office says an independent report published last year recognised the centre as well-run, with detainees being treated decently and in a safe and secure environment.

The protest passed peacefully with no arrests or issues, according to Lincolnshire Police.
