One of the greatest blocks to tackling the injustice of refused asylum seekers unable to be returned home is the absence of any information from the UK Home Office on which countries they are unable to return refused asylum seekers.
This absence of information is significant. If this information were publicly available, then maybe there might be more public outrage about people who have their financial support terminated but who cannot be returned. It would be far more obvious that any one in this position would be forced into destitution. Information is power, and a lack of any information on non-returnable countries removes any chance of challenging this sad state of injustice.
I think this information should be publicly available. In the continued absence of such information, I think that concerned Members of Parliament should be asking regular questions to identify the current list of such non-returnable countries. Once we have this information, we can then campaign to ensure that such refused, non returnable asylum seekers are not forced into destitution.
