In this conversation with Sonya Sceats Chief Executive of Freedom from Torture, we discuss the Nationality and Borders Bill which makes the most far-reaching changes to the UK Asylum System.
Sonya is clear that these changes represent a fundamental challenge to the principle of Refugee protection as provided for by the Geneva Refugee Convention of 1951.
She asserts that this Bill breaches International Law and its two-tier system is an affront to fundamental tenets of International Human Rights and a regrettable regressive step.
We discuss the return of Institutionalised Asylum Accommodation, criminalisation of vulnerable people merely seeking Sanctuary not least the appalling and incendiary proposals on offshoring.
