Three Kurdish-Iranian teenagers who arrived in the United Kingdom as asylum seekers, allegedly fleeing persecution, have been seen returning to Iran on holiday. The trips, according to former staff of the hosting company. Framework, They were carried out separately during 2023, but with the same shadow behind them: a third person, also a migrant, who is alleged to have paid the expenses.


The young people, who were living in a care centre in Derbyshire, are alleged to have taken advantage of the trip to visit family, take part in water sports and celebrate festivals such as Eid. All of this, according to the former workers, was carried out with virtually no oversight from the centre's staff. One of the former workers who reported the situation said to Nottingham Post that«If you say you ran away because it's dangerous, and then you come back from holiday, it makes no sense.”.

“They made me feel like a racist.”

The same former employee who reported the incidents claims that, when he expressed his concern about these trips, the reaction of the organisation's managers was one of contempt and mistrust., making him feel as if he were racist just for questioning the situation.

This trip led another of the young men to confess to him that he too had planned to return to his country. Both were under state protection, supposedly to escape a dangerous situation, and the fact that they decided to go back on holiday set off all the alarm bells for the workers, but not for the centre or any authority.

The trips were legal, but they generate debate.

The three young people were of legal age and obtained their travel documents through legal channels. According to the Derbyshire County Council, they had no legal authority to prevent them from leaving the country.

Nevertheless, the situation has reignited the debate over the veracity of some asylum applications. Reform UK MP Lee Anderson has strongly criticised these cases, claiming that If someone considers their country safe enough to holiday in, it is also safe enough to live in again.. In this regard, he has argued that the United Kingdom should deport these people “without excuse.”.

A questioned system

Framework They receive £370 per week for each person in their care. The former workers criticise that, despite the resources, the monitoring was virtually non-existent. One of the young people even shared holiday videos with the staff and accused one of them of breaking a promise to remain silent when they realised it could affect their financial support.

Despite the gravity of the suspicions, both the police and the local authorities concluded that there were no offences to pursue. But questions persist: if they were really fleeing persecution, why did they return? And if that was not the case, how did they obtain asylum?
