Description

Refugees and asylum-seekers are high up on many people's political agenda, and there is much misinformation about them. Who are these asylum-seekers? Aren't they almost all 'bogus'? How does the Home Office decide whether or not they are genuine? Isn't the UN convention on Refugees out of date and in need of renegotiating? This book is based on visits to places where asylum seekers are detained, on working with lawyers representing asylum-seekers and on a close knowledge of many of the refugee organisations. It argues passionately that Britain should not throw away, through ignorance and misunderstanding, a reputation for providing a place of safety for the persecuted who have much to contribute to national life.

Author Biography:

Louis Pirouet has been in the refugee scene for many years both in Africa and Britain. She is a trustee of Asylum Aid, helps to run a group in Cambridge which works for safeguards for asylum seekers held at a detention centre near Cambridge, and finds herself asked to write expert reports for Kenyans and Ugandans appealing against refusal of Asylum.
