Workers at a charity that helps refugees once they arrive in the UK say they have faced death threats after footage of them helping refugees on the beach was passed on to former UKIP leader Nigel Farage. Channel Rescue, based in Kent, was set up during the covid pandemic to advocate safe and legal routes for those seeking asylum.
As reported by Kent Live, the human rights monitoring organisation claim it was targeted after its work was featured on Mr Farage's show on GB News. Co-founder Steven Martin says the group has received thousands of death threats since the story.
He said: "Last year, there was myself and another volunteer, we assisted a landing. We were helping to help secure the port on the beach and help people out of the boat safely. We were trying to do it as safely as we could.
