Torture survivors have experienced the unimaginable. They shouldn’t be detained with the looming threat of being sent to Rwanda after finally reaching safety in the UK.

The work our Legal Advisors are doing has never been more important. They are doing whatever it takes to…

'Cruel Rwanda scheme has re-opened wounds faced by terrified torture survivors'

Why the whole fabric of global cooperation on refugees frays when liberal democracies push people needing protection from pillar to post

'It's now in vogue, Sonya.'
'It's not in vogue, Nick.'

Nick Ferrari disagrees with Freedom From Torture's Sonya Sceats over the current rhetoric on immigration, who believes 'there's mileage to be had in demonising refugees and keeping people distracted from other issues'.

Why terrified survivors of torture and persecution are likely to disengage from services and become more vulnerable to exploitation.

📺 I spoke with Good Morning Britain this morning about the human impact of news that enforcement action will commence against asylum seekers.

Messages from frontline asylum charities wondering what to do in face of gov claiming start of asylum arrests tomorrow:

1. People are frightened, be careful not to allow our fear to spread further to them. Be calm. Remember your role is to listen, present options, don’t direct.

Make no mistake, this latest attack on refugees by this government will further traumatise people who have fled from torture chambers.

Jet2tweets did you know that AirTanker (the company you rent planes from) could forcibly fly people away from safety in this government’s cash-for-humans Rwanda scheme?

This is why we are calling on ministers to change course by repealing the Rwanda Plan and the Illegal Migration Act. /8

Impossible to understate the impending crisis exposed by Refugee Council 🧡 for asylum seekers left in limbo by the draconian Illegal Migration Act.

Every news outlet should be covering this with the same ferocity that they are covering the Rwanda “cash for humans” scheme.

Speaking out = vital role for campaigning orgs.
Freedom from Torture🧡 adopt a savvy 'don't be scared, be prepared' tactic. They took legal advice to make sure #StopTheFlights approach chimed with campaigning rules.

Kudos to Sonya Sceats 🧡 for leading the way on the right to campaign 👊

Sonya Sceats 🧡 Thanks Sonya. I'm always proud to be part of such a welcoming community. The government would tell you that coastal communities like this don't welcome refugees. As we all know, it's simply not true.
