People seeking sanctuary are being housed in prison-like conditions with inadequate access to healthcare & no clear timeline of when they can leave. This is NOT the asylum system we want. @ukhomeoffice must #CloseTheBarracks & house people in the community.

On 12 March, join students across the UK to take action and show solidarity with the residents of Napier and Penally Barracks ✊

Isaac, our chair has asked panellists what the most encouraging moment of this year has been. @STARGlasgow highlights the joy they felt from being able to finally run their conversation club this year! It took a lot of work but it sounds like it was definitely worth it!

How it started: How it’s going:

[STAR | Student Action for Refugees @STARnational]

THREAD | During the Home Secretary's speech yesterday, she said that the asylum system is broken. We agree.

🔺 A system with almost no safe and legal routes for sanctuary is broken.
🔺 A system in which 75% of applicants are waiting well over 6 months for a decision is broken.
