Remove the ban on disabled refugees.

Closed 244 signatures

What the petition asks

It has just been revealed that the government has been refusing to consider applications from individuals with disabilities fleeing war-torn countries since January. Shutting the most desperate, vulnerable people out is an affront to British values and applications must be reconsidered immediately.
