A lonely death on Jersey


Listen Later

As a tax haven Jersey has a reputation for welcoming the wealthy with open arms, but how does it treat other kinds of immigrants? Jane Kiiti came from Kenya to work in Jersey’s hotels for more than twenty years. Her death raises questions about the conditions migrant workers face and whether the island is doing enough to prevent their exploitation.


You can read Orlando Crowcroft's article 'The never-ending fear that haunts Jersey's troubled migrant workers' here.
