Scottish Government hit out at inadmissibility rules on Afghan refugees

Scottish Government hit out at inadmissibility rules on Afghan refugees

THE Scottish Government has again warned against the UK Government’s rules on inadmissibility for refugees, following a call for action from the Scottish Refugee Council (SRC).

One year on from the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, the SRC have called upon the UK Government to revive the Afghan Citizen Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) to bring people at risk of violent reprisal to safety in the UK, fast-track the asylum claims of those from Afghanistan, and scrap inadmissibility rules “which deny protection to people based on the route they took to reach the UK.”
