Zimbabweans expected to return to election chaos.
Zimbabwean asylum seekers who have been denied sanctuary in the UK are expected to return home as soon as possible - despite the volatility and violence in the country.
Refugee Action believes it is unacceptable to deport anyone to Zimbabwe at the moment, unreasonable to expect them to return voluntarily, and inhumane to make them destitute if they are too afraid to do so.
Act now. Destitution for asylum seekers should end. A new report from the Independent Asylum Commission is calling for a change. Make sure your MP knows about it.
