AN ASYLUM-SEEKER has told MPs that she was hospitalised several times with stress and her self-confidence “demolished” as a result of her experiences inside Britain’s asylum system. 

Roxanna, who has been in the asylum system for more than five years, said that she was made to feel like a “third-class citizen” by the Home Office. 

“[From] the day I claimed asylum … to the last moment, I was to make myself ashamed of being a asylum-seeker.”
