We have been witnessing the fear, sadness & disappointment among the people we support over the last few weeks.

The horrific attacks on asylum hotels are a direct outcome of the constant scapegoating of people seeking safety in our politics & the media. This must stop immediately.

This #RefugeeWeek, #OurSuperpower is resilience ✊🧡

The hostile environment that people seeking asylum in the UK experience takes a huge toll on their mental health. But the resilience and strength of our clients, many of whom continue to face tremendous hardship, inspire us every day.

🚨 The Home Office has apologised to our client from Cote D’Ivoire for the errors they made in his case, resulting in him waiting 4+ years for an asylum decision. The limbo took a huge toll on his mental health.

This is significant as the Home Office rarely issues such an apology. 👇

🚨 As asylum backlogs remain high, our client, a 52-year-old man from Cote D’Ivoire seeking protection in the UK, will receive an apology & compensation from the Home Office for waiting 4 years and 2 months for a decision on his asylum claim.

Here's why this is important🧵1/6
