‘Cruel’ Migration Bill will ‘traumatise, not deter’ asylum seekers, refugees say
Farzad, who did not wish to share his second name, arrived in the UK by boat in 2019 after fleeing Iran due to persecution he faced for religious reasons and said he does not think the Bill will act as a deterrent.
A person fleeing persecution does not pass through all those friendly countries and come to the UK. A person who wants life to be given to them on a plate makes that journey to England, the land of milk and honey for those who arrive illegally
“(Detaining asylum seekers) will traumatise them more and make them more vulnerable,” Farzad said in a statement shared via the Refugee Council.
“When people are running, they are more concerned with what they are running from, not what they are running to.
“I decided to go to the UK, because I speak English…
You would have been fine in pretty much any of the countries you passed by, with a good knowledge of the English language
they put me in a lorry, and then in a van,” he said.“After this long journey, they forced me and a few other people into a boat – this was not what they had promised me to do, I was not supposed to come by boat… it was dark, it was foggy, it was cold.”
Mohammad Asif fled his home country Afghanistan in 2000 and said the Government’s Bill will not “stop the boats, but drive asylum seekers underground”.
The 55-year-old is the director of the Afghan Human Rights Foundation in Glasgow and said he has spoken to “scared” asylum seekers
“I speak to (people who have come by boat) every single day because I work with lawyers, immigration lawyers, I work with tribunals… people are so scared,” he told the PA news agency.
Mr Asif said asylum seekers and refugees have become a “target” for the Government to blame crises on, and the Government has already failed those who have come to the UK.“If you failed in your policies, fail on the cost-of-living crisis, energy crisis, petrol crisis, mortgage crisis, economy crisis… the easy target for you is to blame asylum seekers for all the problems in Britain,” he said.
No asylum seeker when he or she arrived asked for hotel accommodation
“The worst thing is that no normal person would risk their lives to come through the English Channel… it is a choice between death and life.”
Mr Biti is now the chief executive officer for Communities and Sanctuary Seekers Together (Cast) – a refugee community organisation which he said “aims to end destitution within the UK draconian immigration system”.
He said the Government needs to work with refugees and organisations like Cast to tackle the issue of asylum seekers crossing the Channel by boat and help them to find safer routes.
“Let’s sit down at the round table. We give in our ideas, you come in with your ideas and resolve the problem together.
“We can, together – as asylum seekers, the refugees who have settled here, the refugee community organisations, charities working with refugees, and the Government – stop people getting into the boats.”
