Petition Action

Open a UK/French centre in Calais for people who want to claim asylum in the UK.

Petition Details

There are currently 3,000 people in the Jungle Camp who are fleeing war & poverty in the Middle East (including Syria) and East Africa. Some of these people are risking their lives trying to cross the Channel & some (at least 14) have already lost their lives & without action more will die.

Additional Information

As winter approaches, conditions in this camp, which are already bad, will deteriorate. Peter Sutherland UN Special Representative for International Migration, recently visited the camp, & said that a centre should be opened where asylum claims could be assessed & dealt with in a sane & humane fashion. He said "you could set up an immediate system for assessing how many of these people are refugees. This could be done in very short time. This is a violation of the rights of individuals".
