‘The hell of being an asylum seeker’
One of our major achievements in this field was the story ‘The hell of being an asylum seeker’, which was published in the Observer magazine, generating huge public response.
The article was written by the award-winning writer Mark Haddon, following a visit to MRC where he met media group members and interviewed them. It resulted in raising an immense amount of awareness of the plight and experiences of some of the asylum seekers in the UK amongst the British public.
MRC and members of the media group were overwhelmed by the strong show of solidarity and the expressions of support, generosity and kindness of the British public.
