Workers contribute. This is a Refugee Tax. Plain and simple.

Making recognised refugees pay for the privilege of being put in barracks to fund private profiteers who benefit from government generosity.

🚨Around 500 unaccompanied children are currently stuck at the France-UK border, living outside in informal living sites. Most are just 14–17 years old.
They arrived alone, yet they face increased risks of exploitation, forced labor, and violence every single day.

This Government wants to cut child poverty & educational inequalities. But at the same time it's baking poverty and trauma for children into its migration policy.

We've joined charities, social workers & lawyers saying: every child's rights matter.

“You can’t stay but you can’t go” - State violence at the UK France border, emphasises the UK and French governments’ joint responsibility for violence at the UK-France border. Both governments organise and fund violent policing operations in the name of ‘security’.

[Humans for Rights Network 🧡 @humansforrights]

The political aim of these violent actions is to stop people reaching the UK: as such, they constitute an outsourcing and externalisation of UK border policy and act in the anti-migrant interests of the UK government.

[Humans for Rights Network 🧡 @humansforrights]

Much of which is paid for by the British government through bilateral agreements with France. We hope our report provides essential information on the situation and that this conversation gives rise to real action to prevent further fatal and non fatal harm at the border.

Yesterday we were in Parliament to launch our new collaborative report, “You can’t stay but you can’t go” - state violence at the UK France border” at an event hosted by @NadiaWhittomeMP.

State violence is a daily occurrence characterised by incessant use of tear gas, violent police actions on beaches including slashing of boats, widespread evictions, racism and hostility perpetrated by French police.
