Provide asylum to Afghans threatened by the Taliban & forced to flee Afghanistan

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The impact of the current situation on Afghan civilians is devastating. We call on the UK government to provide asylum to vulnerable Afghan refugees threatened by the Taliban and forced to flee Afghanistan.

In the last month more than 1,000 people have been killed by attacks against civilians.

At least 241,000 people have been forced to flee from their homes. Hospitals are overflowing. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Roads, bridges, schools, clinics and other critical infrastructure are being destroyed.

Every day, the conflict is taking an even bigger toll on women and children.
Continued conflict will mean continued carnage with civilians paying the highest price.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Home Office announced on 18 August 2021 a bespoke resettlement route for Afghan refugees who have been forced to flee the country. You can read more about it on the gov.uk website: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/bespoke-resettlement-route-for-afghan-refugees-announced

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Help the people of Afghanistan: Help the people of Afghanistan.
