Right now, many people who are migrants or seeking asylum don’t even have access to the most basic things. Join us and @AmnestyUK in telling the government to make sure everyone is safe during this pandemic, no matter who they are or where they're from: https://t.co/OKUS6DcNLO ❤️

As criticisms grow of Trevor Phillips involvement in the government’s inquiry into the disproportionate impact of #Covid19 on BAME communities, @PHE_uk has said that a consultancy run by Phillips and Prof Richard Webber have the right skills and experience to aid the inquiry 1/14

Surely, such generalisations and racial stereotypes, bodes ill for the credibility of the government / @PHE_uk inquiry. 14/14 ENDS

So moving to bear witness to the testimonies of members of the #Uyghur #Muslim community in the UK, all of whom have not seen their 'disappeared' loved ones for years. The persecution of the #Uyghurs by the Chinese regime must be challenged.
