Dear Refugee council,
My being someone similar those thousands of asylum seekers whose case is in the ‘backlog’, this campaign shows that many do care.
This campaign to some people like my self is a life line. There had been a recent judgment at the high court re work permit for a fresh claimants (see free movement website- ZO of Somalia case) and I have recently learned that the home office has appealed against that decision. The issue will take such a long time (as everything does at the home office and courts), and our voices and concerns will not be understood for sometime.
However, the battle must go on and do keep up the good work. I shall find a way to get involved and make a difference. Meanwhile, I would like to thank you for all your hard work!
