Toufique Hossain warns the guardian about the rising risk of Calais children in camp (28 November 2016)

Since 17 October, 233 children have arrived in the UK from Calais but many are still in the camp. Toufique Houssain, Director of Public Law and Immigration at Duncan Lewis, has warned that some of the children still in the Calais camp are at risk. Toufique specialises in law relating to vulnerable people including victims of torture and various other challenges to decisions made by the Secretary of State for the Home Department.



“We have been receiving texts from some of the children saying that bandits are coming into the containers and stealing their phones and their identity cards proving that they are minors,” he said. “We are very concerned to hear these reports.”
