We have joined Privacy International's campaign to demand that the UK Home Office stops spying on asylum seekers!
We are demanding that the UK Home Office stops spying on asylum seekers through their 'Aspen Card' payment cards. Please join our campaign, and take 2 minutes to send a letter to Priti Patel today!
The ‘Aspen Card’ is a debit payment card given to UK asylum seekers by the Home Office. It provides basic subsistence, but the Home Office can also use Aspen Cards to track exactly what asylum seekers are buying, and where and when they’re making their purchases. But it doesn’t just stop at surveillance. The Home Office can cut off asylum seekers’ access to money if their spending patterns don’t adhere to invisible rules.
