Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): British Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick announced on Wednesday, August 9, while appearing on "BBC Radio 4" program, that people who apply for asylum in England and from going to residences Considered to refuse to float on water, they may be denied government services and support.
The first group of asylum seekers were transferred to the Baby Stockholm vessel in Portland, southwest England, on Monday. As soon as this transfer, a group of lawyers immediately took action to prevent the transfer of more people to this boat. They believe that this 220-bedroom vessel is unsafe and unsuitable for the injured asylum seekers.
Mr. Jenrick said in this program: "If you don't accept the accommodation that is offered like floating on water, we may also remove your asylum support and that person will have to fend for himself in the end."
Although the British immigration minister said that the country's government fulfills its legal obligations to provide shelter and the basic needs of asylum seekers, he added that people are not given the right to choose or "choice menu" for staying in hotels and related places.
According to Euro News, this new announcement is actually defined within the framework of what Rishi Sonak refers to as "small boat week" or the boats of illegal immigrants, during which the British government intends to respond to the growing pressure. Implement a series of immigration policies to remove asylum seekers from hotels.
It is said that an increasing number of asylum applications have not yet been processed by the Home Office.
Mr. Generic said: "We don't leave anyone in need. They want this because they don't accept this kind of completely decent accommodation.
The use of flat boats on water or so-called "barges" and abandoned military bases to accommodate refugees has been criticized by refugee protection organizations for various reasons, including cost, cruelty and inhumanity. Also, concerns have been raised about the safety of this type of vessel during a fire, high population density, and facing threats from extreme right-wing groups.
The British immigration minister noted: "We certainly shouldn't send people to four-star hotels." He added that the above-mentioned vessel used to be the residence of oil and gas workers, and probably, similarly, Ukrainian refugees were also accommodated in the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
However, shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told the same radio program that the Conservatives were "fostering division" and "running away" because of their failure to deal with illegal immigration and the rise of asylum seekers.
