Violence, negligence, understaffing, abuse: G4S’s history of handling public services reads like a catalogue of corporate malpractice.

Just this week it's come to light that four men spent over two years in deportation limbo at a G4S-run immigration centre, suffering prison-like conditions, while its Oakwood youth prison has been beset by accusations of excessive force and staffing shortages.

Yet astonishingly, the government keeps awarding G4S these sensitive contracts.

We’re sick of hearing about vulnerable people suffering at G4S’s hands. It’s time we confront the government, and demand to know why a company that has shown itself to be utterly incapable keeps getting rewarded.

Sign here to demand the government explain why it keeps giving human rights abusers G4S more work!

G4S stands accused of abuses not only in Britain, but globally: torturing prisoners in South Africa, assaulting children in US youth detention centres and mishandling prisoners in occupied Palestinian territories -- in contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Last year the government’s corporate watchdog criticised G4S for failing to address human rights violations. G4S’s own policy on human rights shows the company has failed even on its own terms.

Yet they continue to thrive as the government’s go-to firm for outsourcing.

As recently as December, the Home Office decided to exercise a two-year extension on their contract to provide housing for humans -- despite a the Home Affairs Select Committee reporting unsanitary living conditions, including “infestations of mice, rats or bed bugs”.

It’s time to demand the government explain why these services keep going to a corporation with a history of neglect and abuse.

When the government’s discrimination helpline was given over to G4S, over 60,000 members -- members like you and me -- stood together to make our voices heard. Now it’s time we stand up for justice again and demand to know why serial-offenders G4S keep receiving government contracts.

We demand to know why serial-offenders G4S keep receiving government contracts!
