06: How to get good asylum advice 

Advicenow's guide How to get good asylum advice has now been translated
into 12 languages and is available on the Multikulti website. The guide
explains how asylum seekers can avoid being duped out of money or
documents by fraudulent advisers/solicitors and how they can find a good
adviser/solicitor. Described by frontline workers as a 'vital piece of
work' and 'important and recommended reading for asylum seekers' you can
view the translated versions at http://www.multikulti.org.uk or download
the guide in English at http://www.advicenow.org.uk/asylumadvice.

07: Speech - Asylum is a Human Right

"If it was not torture, persecution and fear for our lives in our own
countries, we would not be here seeking asylum. Many of us were forced
to leave our families, jobs, and all our livelihoods to come here and
live in fear of being returned to the very situations which we fled
from..."

Terror tactics are being used by governments to break the will of
detainees in prisons such as Guantánamo Bay and Bagram. 'War on Terror'
prisoners are being transfered in rendition flights, carried out in
secret. Fundamental human rights protection mechanisms and the rule of
law are being compromised.
