89 charities and human rights organisations have written to the Home Secretary, urging a generous and compassionate welcome to Afghan refugees.
We urge the Home Secretary to:

Abandon the ‘resettlement-only’ plans set out in the Nationality and Borders Bill, that would criminalise or deny full refugee status to those who make their own journeys to seek asylum in the UK
Grant immediate asylum to Afghans already waiting for status in the UK
Release all Afghan nationals from detention
Expand the family reunion route so that Afghans can be joined by other members of their family, such as parents and siblings
Join the international effort to evacuate and resettle Afghan nationals

Stand in solidarity with refugees – join us today
