Five Syrian refugees in the UK are seeking to challenge the Home Office over a decision to pause all settlement decisions following the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
The Home Office put all Syrian asylum interviews and decisions on hold on 9 December last year so the department could “assess the current situation”. They also paused applications by Syrians who have already received refugee status but are seeking to permanently settle in the UK.
