UK urged to change asylum policy
Afp, London
Senior British church leaders yesterday called on the government to change policies they claim "victimise" asylum seekers by leaving them "homeless and destitute". The calls were led by John Sentamu, a former asylum seeker from Idi Amin's Uganda and newly installed this week as the Archbishop of York, the church's second most senior figure to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Sentamu and a cross-section of leading figures from the Roman Catholic faith and other Christian denominations said it was "inhuman and unacceptable that some people seeking asylum are left homeless and destitute by government policies".
