Devastating but wholly unsurprising outcomes from this piece of work. Humane community based asylum accommodation has been needed for too long. End the use of these “open prisons” now

Incredible event by @ShpresaPrograme and @MiCLUteam on the plight of Albanian asylum seekers last night. Powerful words from the young champions and glimmers of hope from the legal team.
Hate public speaking. Love working with the lovely @FocusOnLabour team (sorry about the side eye Peter!) congratulations on 10 years of vital work!
A fantastic panel. Enormous thanks to Emiliano Mellino from @TBIJ and Beth Mullan-Feroze from @HelenBamber and FLEX’s Kate Roberts and Peter Wieltschnig for an insightful discussion on addressing the structural causes of #exploitation. @Mellino @bethmf88 @KR0b3rts @PeterPwielt

The MLP is thrilled that we have managed to reunite Yonas (not real names), a young refugee who was trapped in Libya, with his brother, Abel, a refugee in the UK. This is the first time we have found a lawful route out of Libya. A thread:

Number of potential trafficking victims locked up in UK triples in four years | Immigration and asylum | The Guardian @HelenBamber theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…
The gov have failed to provide any evidence to back up their claim that people are falsely claiming to be victims of trafficking. Our new report evidences that those victims of trafficking are suffering abuse by the detention system.
Another important thread on this dark day where the Home Office are resorting to their go to move of distort and distract
