The death of the young man from Durrës, Leonard Farruku, on the "Bibby Stockholm" ship, also known as the "floating prison" for asylum seekers who have crossed the English Channel by dinghy, has become an issue in Great Britain.
Under the suspicion of a suicide by the 27-year-old who had expressed to his sister the serious psychological condition and the "treatment like animals" by the security guards, British Home Secretary James Cleverly announced the launch of the investigation into Farruk's death.
Cleverly said that the sudden death of the young Albanian will be investigated "fully". Also Rachael Griffin, senior coroner for the Dorset area, has confirmed that an inquest into Farruk's death will begin on December 21.
A preliminary hearing is usually held to formally determine the identity of the deceased, the location of death and potentially the cause of death before adjourning for a full hearing at a later date.
News of Farruk's death prompted criticism from numerous charities in Britain, which called for an independent investigation into the incident and the failure to use the ships to accommodate asylum seekers.
The "Daily Telegraph" newspaper, which reported the name of the deceased for the first time, has discovered that Leonardi had paid 4 thousand euros to cross the English Channel by dinghy.
His sister, Jola Dushku, told the newspaper: "When I spoke with him last time, he told me that the conditions on that ship were not bad, but the guards treated them like animals. According to our relatives who are in contact with the police, Leonard had some problems that night at 11 pm and was calmed down by the guard. At 3 o'clock in the morning he was found dead. We don't know more details about how he died."
Meanwhile, after the death of the 27-year-old Albanian, the Permanent Secretary of the Home Office, Sir Matthew Rycroft, told the British MPs the cost of the contract concluded by the state to place illegal immigrants on the "Bibby Stockholm" ship, which exceeds 22 million pounds.
He stated that this figure covered the part of the accommodation on the ship returned to the asylum seeker camp, according to the contract with the CTM operators. He also clarified that after the unfortunate case there will be an evaluation that will show if the accommodation of asylum seekers on board this "floating prison" justifies the cost.
The asylum seekers were initially moved aboard the Bibby Stockholm in August, but were evacuated days later following the discovery of Legionella bacteria in the drinking water, which can cause the potentially fatal Legionnaires' disease. Two months later, about 200 immigrants returned there again.
