We're angry and deeply disturbed by the news last night about the Home Office's plans. We've created a page on our website with links to some helpful resources for people who are wondering how to respond and how to support people during this time: boaztrust.org.uk/articles/front…

Vital advice for anyone working / walking alongside people seeking asylum. Please read and share.

More lives lost trying to reach the UK - hours after the Rwanda bill passed.

Deterrents don't work. Its painfully clear that the only way to reduce dangerous journeys is for the government to reduce the need for desperate people to take desperate actions

Following the passing of the “Safety of Rwanda” Act by the UK, UN leaders have sounded the alarm on the harmful impact it will have on global responsibility sharing, human rights and refugee protection.

Full statement: unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

You cannot legislate to say that some people deserve fewer human rights than others. We remain absolutely opposed to the #RwandaBill , and stand in solidarity and support with all those who have been left more fearful for the future this morning, having come here seeking safety.
