Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, over 6,000 Syrian asylum claims in the UK are paused as the Home Office evaluates the ongoing situation. This decision, made on December 9, affects many Syrians fleeing the Assad regime and has sparked urgent calls from charities and legal representatives for the government to resolve the impasse. The political landscape in Syria remains chaotic, with various groups controlling territories, leading to further complications for those seeking refuge and the legality of their claims.
"The Home Office announced a pause on Syrian asylum seekers' claims on 9 December, saying that it needed to assess the current situation."
"More than 6,000 Syrians in Britain are stuck in limbo because of an ongoing freeze on their asylum claims, close to two months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime."
"Leading charities and lawyers have called for the government to resolve the situation regarding the halted asylum claims from Syrian refugees."
"Several different groups have been accused of persecution and war crimes, and have controlled different territories since the outbreak of civil war in Syria in 2011."
