Chunnel stroll to asylum in Britain: MPs say giving Sudanese migrant refugee status is sending out the wrong message to others
MPs last night condemned a decision to grant asylum to a Sudanese migrant who walked 31 miles through the Channel Tunnel to Britain. Giving Abdul Rahman Haroun refugee status sent the wrong message to others desperate to enter the country, they said. Haroun, 40, will now be given state-funded accommodation in a B&B, flat or house and is entitled to a weekly allowance of £36.95. He will also be allowed free NHS healthcare, prescriptions, dental care and eyesight tests. Pictured: Haroun (centre) is greeted by his lawyer and support workers from a refugee rights group last night as he leaves Elmley Prison on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.
