UK Resumes Processing of Syrian Asylum Claims After Extended Pause
The UK Home Office plans to renew the processing of Syrian asylum claims, which had been on hold for over seven months due to the volatile situation in Syria.
In a recent announcement, Asylum Minister Dame Angela Eagle confirmed that the backlog of asylum claims would be addressed and some returns to Syria might occur by the year's end. The decision to pause processing was made last December post the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime as authorities lacked firm data to assess risks for returning individuals. With this lifting of the pause, over 7,000 Syrians previously left in limbo may now see their cases evaluated, while advocates stress the necessity for careful case assessments given ongoing instability in Syria.
