The High Court has ruled that the decision to house people in "squalid" Napier barracks was UNLAWFUL - 300 people are still housed there.

After months of tragedy & scandal, at what point does treating people like human beings become the obvious option?

The hostile environment deters many migrants from seeking healthcare, including the vaccine.

81% of undocumented migrants we surveyed feared accessing care. Government must scrap the hostile environment to ensure maximum vaccine take-up.

[InfoMigrants @InfoMigrants]

Human Rights Watch has warned that #migrants living in an area of a camp in #Lesbos contaminated with lead are at serious risk.

Children and pregnant women could develop lead poisoning if the government fails to act, they said.

[Choose Love @chooselove]

This is from a resident of a camp on #Lesvos. 6000+ people live here with limited access to heating, electricity & sanitation.

This cannot be the best the Europe has to offer people who have fled war & persecution. Seeking asylum is not a privilege, it is a legal & human right.

[Choose Love @chooselove]

TAKE ACTION: The government’s new plan for immigration is cruel, misleading and will destroy lives.

Protecting people fleeing war and persecution must come first.

Take 1 min to call on the government to scrap this cruel and destructive plan 👉https://t.co/tT7pfVptie
