As the British government’s controversial Illegal Migration Bill advances amid strong criticism from opposition parties and humanitarian organizations, the Jesuit Refugee Service has published a scathing report that showcases what the future of asylum will look like in the UK if the bill is enacted.
The move came despite significant criticism of facilities at the site, including a judgment from the High Court declaring them inadequate, and the Home Office guilty of employing unlawful practices. Also, according to the Cour, the use of emergency powers bypassed consultation with local community that such an extension would normally require.
Key findings from those conversations include: people being routinely brought to the camp without their prior knowledge, causing them deep anxiety; harsh military and prison-like living conditions, with overcrowding and no privacy; serious failures in screening for vulnerabilities, namely survivors of both trafficking and torture who continued to be placed and remain there; barriers to accessing healthcare, and lack of legal advice.
“This kind of accommodation is damaging to people seeking asylum, denying them both agency and respite, and ghettoising them away from wider communities. It also militates against integration.”The JRS Report follows the recent publication by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales of a document calling on policy makers to uphold the human dignity of migrants and refugees, and reminding them that any immigration policy should be based on “the innate worth of each human person”.
