Asylum seekers in South Yorkshire are facing threats such as: forcible deportation to face certain danger in Zimbabawe, Afghanistan and Iraq; forced into destitution because they are not allowed to work and have benefits withdrawn; benefits being cut by £7 to £35 a week; being forced to travel the length of the country to make a claim for asylum.

Coming up to Christmas, a demonstration to show that the people of South Yorkshire stand in solidarity with those seeking asylum from war, persecution and torture.
