Immigration minister Robert Jenrick ordered children’s artwork to be painted over at an asylum reception centre, it has been claimed.
Enver Solomon, CEO of the Refugee Council, said Mr Jenrick asked for the paintings of cartoons and animals to be removed at the Kent asylum intake unit earlier this year. He also allegedly told workers to take down welcome signs to show the centre was a ‘law enforcement environment’,Mr Enver told a Refugee Week event hosted by the Wiener Holocaust Library last week the children’s painting were designed to put lone youngsters at ease.
He told the I: ‘The Immigration Minister said pictured of cartoons and animals must be removed and that staff should make sure they are painted over, as they give an impression of welcoming, which Mr Jenrick didn’t want to show. ‘This demonstrates that the hostile environment has become so entrenched, that today we have lost sight of humanity.’This is despite Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledging to ‘stop the boats’.More:
