Independent MP Adnan Hussain calls UK pause on Syrian asylum decisions 'dangerous'

Independent MP Adnan Hussain has slammed the British government's announcement that it is suspending all Syrian asylum claims because the Assad dynasty was toppled in Syria.

Hussain, who was elected to parliament in July and is one of five members of the parliamentary Independent Alliance, told Middle East Eye the Labour government's move is "dangerous". 

"The removal of Syria's tyrannical dictator is a welcome step for the Syrian people to now be given an opportunity at hopefully building a democratic and pluralistic state," he said.

But Hussain added that the situation in Syria remains "uncertain, and no doubt dangerous".
