Rejected petition Allow Ukrainian refugees in Great Britain.

Many countries are showing solidarity with the people of Ukraine as they brave the invasion.
The UK must simplify their visa regime to allow Ukrainian refugees to claim shelter here.
Other countries don't even ask for ID.
Open the doors to Ukrainians who have been forced to free their home.

More details

It is a basic human right to seek shelter, to be able to reunite with their families, to feel safe again.

People who are in need of refuge have already suffered extraordinary levels of distress. They simply do not have enough mental capacity left to go through an overly complicated beurocratic process of applying for seasonal visas or other available options.

Britain must do more. Please step up.
