Alliance of 16 anti-racism groups says report on scandal proves ‘institutional failures to understand racism’

The call came after the long-awaited publication of the independent inquiry into the government’s handling of the scandal, which saw British citizens wrongly deported, dismissed from their jobs and deprived of services such as NHS care.
