Help fight the Refugee Ban Bill

The government’s so-called “Illegal Migration Bill” is a serious and vicious attack on some of the most vulnerable people in our society. The rhetoric that accompanies it is a dangerous catalyst for the resurgence of a racist and violent far-right.

In flagrant violation of international conventions on refugee and human rights, the bill would mean anyone who arrived by small boat would automatically have their asylum claim dismissed, despite the fact there are no safe routes available, and that research shows the majority of asylum cases would be granted were they to be considered.

After being detained for 28 days, refugees including children and victims of modern slavery will be removed either to their own country or a “safe third country,” such as Rwanda.

Fascist organisations like Patriotic Alternative have adopted Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s “invasion of the southern coast” inflammatory rhetoric as a slogan on which to mobilise, with riots and anti-refugee mobilisations taking place across the country where asylum seekers are being housed.
