I do pro bono work for asylum seekers, basically writing the country conditions reports they need to bolster their cases. Without giving too much away, I've noticed a lot of the people I work for having their cases dismissed. I worry for them. One case just got delayed from April to June, now to September and I can't testify then as I'm away.

This is a really terrible look from the perspective of someone sitting in Europe watching on the internet. I'll have to see if the Beeb is showing it at all, or France24.
