📢 A reminder: this government has had 12 years to create safe accessible routes to stop deaths.

They have chosen not to. They've closed down routes. It's as simple as that

“It’s utterly contemptible that this Government’s latest plan is to house people fleeing war and torture in tents and marquees”.

Our Associate Director of Advocacy, Natasha Tsangarides, spoke to the Mirror. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Tolerance of human rights violations against refugees has reached alarming levels in Europe

We are devastated by the passing of the Illegal Migration Bill. We stand in solidarity with all those impacted by the Bill’s draconian provisions, which expand detention powers while reducing existing judicial oversight of immigration detention.

It is central to understanding the nature of the challenges we face
