‘Tone deaf’ Home Office celebrates World Hijab Day

Civil servants accused of being tone deaf’ for sending the internal message.

Women can claim asylum on a case-by-case basis based on religious persecution.

Last month , Roya Heshmati , an Iranian woman, was given 74 lashes for refusing to wear the hijab.

The case of Abdul Shokoor Ezedi , the twice rejected asylum seeker who is suspected of committing an atrocious acid attack on a mother and two young girls, was the final straw.

I cannot sit idly by while I watch our broken asylum system fail again and again.

The whole culture is rotten and I don’t actually think half of the senior civil service have the strength, or will, to be tough on asylum.
