A Sudanese asylum seeker is planning a legal challenge to a new Home Office questionnaire that is being circulated to 12,000 asylum seekers to speed up their claims.
The questionnaire, leaked to the Guardian, was announced last week and asks more than 50 complex questions. It is available only in English and is for asylum seekers from five countries – Eritrea, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and Yemen – which the Home Office says have very high asylum grant rates.
