The UK Government’s Nationality & Borders Bill is currently going through parliament and is the biggest threat to refugee rights we’ve seen for decades.
It’s not too late to ask your MP to stand up for refugee rights.
The bill:
- Judges a person’s right to refugee protection according to how they arrive in the UK, not on their need or the level of danger they face
- Criminalises people who arrive in the UK by ‘unofficial routes’, which will apply to the majority of people seeking asylum, including many of those currently fleeing the Taliban in Afghanistan
- Plans to house people seeking refugee protection in ‘off-shore’ detention centres and out-of-town institutions, like Napier Barracks, rather than providing accommodation within local communities
- Fails to set clear targets for resettling refugees in the UK, despite the government claiming to support so-called ‘legal’ routes
Join us in asking your MP to vote against this cruel bill using our template.
