Asylum seekers who refuse to move to the Bibby Stockholm barge have been warned they should not expect alternative accommodation to be offered 🔴 But an immigration barrister told theipaper this could be challenged in the courts on an individual basis

“On 7 August you did not take up the offer of this accommodation. Please consider this letter a second notification to change your accommodation with arrangements in place to move you to the“Accommodation is offered on a no-choice basis. Where asylum seekers fail to take up an offer of suitable accommodation without a reasonable explanation, there should be no expectation that alternative accommodation will be offered.

“If you do not travel tomorrow, on 8 August 2023, arrangements for ceasing the support that you are receiving from the Home Office may commence.” On Monday, Care4Calais said none of the asylum seekers it is supporting boarded the barge “as legal representatives have had their transfers cancelled”. Steve Smith, the refugee charity’s chief executive, said: “Amongst our clients are people who are disabled, who have survived torture and modern slavery and who have had traumatic experiences at sea. To house any human being in a ‘quasi floating prison’ like theis inhumane. To try and do so with this group of people is unbelievably cruel. Even just receiving the notices is causing them a great deal of anxiety.

“Human beings should be housed in communities, not barges. The Government could just get on with processing people’s asylum claims, instead they are playing to a gallery that seems to thrive on human suffering. We will continue supporting people to challenge their decision.”
