What the petition asks
HC1043 changes seek to stop refugees from finding safety in the UK by:
- Preventing them from claiming asylum in UK territorial waters when arriving lawfully by sea.
- Making their asylum claims inadmissible if they are deemed to have passed through a 'safe' third country'.
- Preventing them from claiming asylum in UK territorial waters when arriving lawfully by sea.
- Making their asylum claims inadmissible if they are deemed to have passed through a 'safe' third country'.
HC1043's 'inadmissibility' rule changes:
- Put refugees in danger by denying their claims outright due to passing through or deporting them to 'safe' 3rd countries like France & Greece, in which they face dire living conditions & overwhelmed asylum systems.
- Effectively bar all refugees from finding safety here as it's impossible for them to reach the UK without passing through other countries.
- Delay all asylum decisions without purpose as no return agreements have been negotiated.
Give people fleeing war and persecution a fair chance to seek safety in the UK.
