"I escaped an #authoritarian regime. I don’t feel safer in the #UK"

For people seeking asylum and even those already recognised as refugees, Britain does not feel like a safe country anymore

When you constantly experience insecurity, your psyche becomes extremely sensitive to it. You react to the smallest threats. Normal life and trust are impossible in a society that delegitimises you.

For people seeking #asylum and even those already recognised as refugees, #Britain does not feel like a safe country anymore. It isn’t a safe country anymore, not as long as government officials feel comfortable saying that putting us onto a plane to Rwanda is a “dream” and an “obsession”, as former home secretary Suella Braverman did.

It's the same thing all over again: repression, indifference, cruelty. Suffering as a project.
