"A report published by Refugee Action explores the causes and effects of destitution among rejected asylum seekers in the UK. 'The Destitution Trap' is centred on interviews carried out with 125 people in nine cities in the UK by a team of independent consultants with extensive experience in the field of human rights and asylum. The disturbing results reveal the extensive suffering caused by the government's policy of cutting off support for rejected asylum seekers."
