Immigration trainee solicitor Raman Kumar is quoted in The Independent as hundreds of asylum seekers are being forced to choose between travelling to London to submit their claims, or surviving without the support they are entitled to as a result of a lack of an alternative submission process during the lockdown. Raman, who is representing an Afghan man who was told that he could not arrange a screening interview to apply for asylum for his family of seven until after the lockdown has been lifted, reveals that this is going to be challenged by judicial review, adding that the Home Office had “failed to operate lawful policies during this time of public health emergency”.
