An investigation is underway into the death of a Ugandan asylum seeker in Scotland whose body was found next to her malnourished and crying baby.
“This is a tragic situation and our condolences go to Ms Baguma's family,” a Home Office spokesperson said in a statement.
“The fact is there is no safety net if you’re a refugee or migrant. You are left destitute and without resources,” Ms Qureshi said. Under British law, asylum seekers considered “destitute” can obtain temporary accommodation, transportation and financial support from the government while their asylum application is under review.
At the start of May,30-year-old Syrian refugee Adnan Walid Elbi was found dead in his temporary hotel accommodation.
