UK to restart processing of Syrian asylum claims
The UK will resume processing claims for asylum from Syrian refugees, following a new plan announced this week. The move comes after months of pressure on the UK government to change its asylum policy, which has been criticized for deterring refugees from seeking asylum in the UK. It is expected that the new plan will prioritize those most in need, including women and children at risk and people in danger due to the civilian population. The government is hopeful that the new plan will encourage other countries to follow suit.
