On Monday 7 November, Migrant Voice director Nazek Ramadan spoke to the Independent about the launch of an inquiry on the human rights of asylum seekers.
She said: "The announcement of this inquiry will force the government to face the fact that their hardline anti-migrant policies are not only ineffective and cruel, they also violate many people’s basic human rights. The disastrous scenes at Manston and in hotels across the UK are the direct result of political choices made by this and previous governments over the past 10 years."
