🚨BREAKING: The Gov has confirmed that people have been detained under the new ‘one in, one out’ deal with France.

If the Government is serious about preventing dangerous crossings, it must open up #SafeRoutes for those who need them.

This deal with France is not the answer.

Most #Refugees & #AsylumSeekers seek safety from regions torn apart by war & persecution. With no #SafeRoutes, they are forced to take dangerous journeys.

We stand with #CompassionNotCruelty, welcoming them into our communities & urging the need for more safe routes.

Tomorrow, on #RomaHolocaustMemorialDay, we pause to remember the millions of lives destroyed by the Nazi regime, including Roma & Sinti men, women & children. Their suffering & death, like that of so many others, demand to be acknowledged and remembered.

This is the real-world cost of anti-women and anti-refugee politics A year after far-right riots raged across the UK, refugee women share their fears for their safety as protesters continue to target them.

One year on from the riots, the question we must ask ourselves is simple: whose voices do we listen to - those who incite fear, or those who ask for refuge?

The answer will define who we are.

Today marks a year since the racist riots, a stark reminder of what happens when hatred goes unchecked. The Government has failed to address the failing asylum system. Instead, it continues to propose policies that dehumanise, criminalise & punish asylum seekers.

We had the pleasure of watching #ThrownByGiants by @merylorourke.bsky.social on the interment of Jewish #Refugees on the #IsleOfMan & the realities of their experience.

Today, refugees are still detained, not knowing when they will be released.

Join us in calling for #AlternativesToDetention.

Join @helenbamber.bsky.social's call on the UK government to automatically grant ALL confirmed trafficking survivors 5 years leave to remain— in line with other protection routes.

It’s time to put survivors’ safety, recovery and rights first.

YouTube video by René Cassin Detention in the 1940s: The story of Fritz Lustig

📺Watch Fritz's story www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiIz...

The official document enlisting Fritz Lustig into the British Army in 1940, recording conversations between German generals gathering critical intelligence.

But, in the 1940s, tens of thousands of Jewish #Refugees fleeing persecution were classified as 'enemy aliens' & interned on the #IsleOfMan.

🚨The Prime Minister has announced a shocking new 'one-in-one-out' deal with France.

The UK and France should work together to protect lives, not put them at risk. This deal is not the answer, it will only cause harm.

Refugees need #CompassionNotCruelty.
