Give Safety to Afghan Refugees

Give Safety to Afghan Refugees

We have watched in horror as the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan and thousands of ordinary people fled their homes.  

While many people remain trapped inside the country, we know that some have managed to escape but now face a life of displacement and fear without anywhere to go.

The UK government’s commitment to resettle up to 20,000 Afghan refugees is welcome. But we now need to see full details of how this scheme will provide immediate help to those fleeing the crisis in Afghanistan.

We have watched in horror as the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan and thousands of ordinary people fled their homes.  

While many people remain trapped inside the country, we know that some have managed to escape but now face a life of displacement and fear without anywhere to go.

The UK government’s commitment to resettle up to 20,000 Afghan refugees is welcome. But we now need to see full details of how this scheme will provide immediate help to those fleeing the crisis in Afghanistan.

The UK government should offer safety for Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban by:

  • scrapping its anti-refugee Borders and Nationality Bill
  • suspending removals of Afghan asylum seekers
  • extending family reunion rights so people aren’t torn apart from their loved ones
  • providing refugee protection to Afghan nationals currently in the UK asylum system
  • allowing communities to resettle refugees through an expanded and comprehensive resettlement scheme
