In this episode Chrysi Kyratsou speaks with Rachel Carlin-Lavery and Anna Magee, both volunteers at the QUB branch of the student-led charity SolidariTEE. In resonance with Human Rights Day, as well as the never-ending refugee ‘crisis’, they discuss the right to asylum, as well as why having access to legal aid is so crucial. Moreover, they explain why helping asylum seekers should be our concern, as well as how volunteering with SolidariTEE has been a life-changing experience.If you want to learn more about what SolidariTEE does and help, have a look at: http://solidaritee.org.uk/ For more information about the real numbers of refugee criseis for each EU state, as well as updates on the application policies, you may have a look at the Asylum in Europe Database [https://www.asylumineurope.org/ ] and at European Council for Refugees and Exiles [https://www.ecre.org/].To read Council of Europe’s Anti-Torture Committee report: https://www.coe.int/en/web/cpt/-/council-of-europe-s-anti-torture-committee-calls-on-greece-to-reform-its-immigration-detention-system-and-stop-pushbacks
