Corbyn demands Javid treat refugees like humans
Labour leader blasts the Home Secretary for questioning if asylum-seekers are genuine
Home Secretary Sajid Javid
LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn warned the government today to treat refugees crossing the English Channel in a “humanitarian” way.
He made the comments after Home Secretary Sajid Javid publicly cast doubt on whether the migrants were “genuine” asylum-seekers.
Mr Corbyn refused to follow the government’s reactionary right-wing rhetoric and instead said the refugees are “the product of wars, they are the product of human rights abuses, they are the product of environmental disasters.”
