After the Observer revealed cases of girls denied chance to sit GCSE exams, new evidence emerges of school pupils being uprooted
MPs and charities have condemned the Home Office for “shunting” young Afghan refugees around the UK “like cattle”, as new evidence emerges of children being moved out of London hotels weeks before their GCSEs.
The Observer has uncovered a growing number of cases of Afghan families being compulsorily relocated out of London by the Home Office despite being about to start their exams on 15 May. Andy Slaughter MP, the shadow solicitor general for England and Wales, has battled unsuccessfully to prevent the removal of three young Afghan people living in bridging hotels in his constituency, Hammersmith in west London.
