Between a Rock and a Hard Place: the dilemma facing refused asylum seekers

Categories: Articles:Asylum & Refugees, Resources:Asylum & Refugees | Published: 10/01/2013 | Views: 2295
This report discusses the ongoing human rights abuses and persecution taking place in five countries from which a high number of asylum seekers in the UK come from, and fear returning to when they are refused asylum here. The report also highlights the situation for those who remain in the UK because the situation that caused them to flee their country remains a reality. The UK government expects  people who are refused asylum here to return voluntarily, or be returned forcibly - but this often does not happen. Instead, those who stay are often forced into destitution
and risk, as they are left unsupported and unprotected by the UK government.
