It is well known that Middle Eastern Christians cannot access UN camps due to threats and violence from other refugees. I've highlighted this with Gov't and @UNHCRUK but sad to see UK is still discriminating against persecuted Christian refugees. https://t.co/2Jc9BIYxk4

As a former shop worker, I support @UsdawUnion's message to respect retail staff this #BlackFriday. Sale events see an increase of verbal abuse, threats and violence against staff. Enjoy your bargain hunting, keep your cool and always respect shop workers.?️ #FreedomFromFear

Visited the Co-op in Charlton Village this afternoon to talk to staff about the abuse, threats and violence they face on a regular basis. Time for the Government to move beyond ‘active consideration’ of the issue and commit to a standalone offence for assaulting a retail worker. https://t.co/XEn6Wr0jZb

Written Question
Afghanistan: Repatriation
Monday 8th November 2021

Asked by: Kim Johnson (Labour - Liverpool, Riverside)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to secure safe passage out of Afghanistan for the nine former BBC staff and freelance journalists who have been subjected to a growing campaign of threats and violence.

Answered by James Cleverly - Home Secretary

It remains a top priority to help those British nationals and those Afghans eligible to come to the UK, to leave Afghanistan, including journalists. Since the end of the military evacuation, the Government has facilitated the departure of both Afghan and British nationals from Afghanistan. Although travel within Afghanistan remains dangerous, and many border crossings have been closed during this period, we have also helped both British nationals and eligible Afghans when they have crossed into third countries, from where our diplomatic missions have been able to support their onward travel to the UK. We will continue to work to take advantage of all opportunities to help those eligible to come to the UK to leave Afghanistan.
