Asylum seekers still living in fear

Asylum hotel resident Khadar Mohamed has pleaded for angry anti-migrant protests to end after the Home Office was ordered to curb their stay. He told the Mirror those inside the Bell Hotel in Epping were "living in pain and fear" when locals held protests outside the hotel and that many now were more uncertain about their futures.

WELL done for highlighting the other side of this migrant crisis (Mirror, 21 August) and giving a voice to an actual asylum seeker and his ongoing fear of living in a hotel in Britain. He has justifiable fears of violence and hostility towards him and many like him.

Leaders of political parties need to be responsible for their own rhetoric and actions, in this regard. This is tragic for these people, who were led to believe they stood a real chance of rebuilding their lives, free from war, horrendous conflicts and poverty and stricken countries.

It is a complex issue, no one denies that but to treat men, women and children in this way surely does not sit well with the majority of British people. Because they are real human beings with hopes and dreams and not soulless home office statistics. They want to live here peacefully, obtain refugee status and then contribute to our society.
