Refugees are people the Government believes would face persecution in their home countries. Yet they plan to increase the time it takes to get settled status from 5 years to 10 years, with many having to wait 20 to 30 years.

Plans to make people wait decades for settlement are terrifying, dangerous - and preventable.
We don't have to let hostility win. One simple thing you can do right now is support this petition, set up by refugees who are determined to fight these plans:

It was amazing to be at the Celebration of the 10th Anniversary for Birmingham being a City of Sanctuary. It was great to celebrate the welcoming community that Birmingham has been for many years. Fantastic to meet friends old & new!

I wish people like Tommy Robinson could see what life is really like for asylum seekers
Refugees and asylum seekers are not a burden – they are people with skills, experiences and dreams with the potential to help communities.

Right now, across the world, there is more armed conflict than ever, since 1945. And when there is war, the risk of torture increases.
So today, and every other day, we will continue fighting with survivors for justice and for a world free from torture, where they can rebuild their lives in safety.
