🧵👏: On day 1 Report Stage of the #NationalityandBordersBill yesterday, the House of Lords voted with compassion & defeated the Government in order to:
1⃣ Allow British nationality rights for descendants of Chagos Islanders denied #citizenship due to historic injustice (237:154)

2⃣Omit #Clause9 which would have given the Home Secretary sweeping powers to deprive people of British citizenship without giving them notice (209:173)

3⃣Ensure Part 2 of the Bill does not authorise policies & decisions that fail to comply with the #RefugeeConvention (218:140)

4⃣Omit Clause 11 which would allow for differential treatment of #refugees, depending on how they arrive in the UK (204:126)

5⃣Allow people seeking asylum, and their adult dependants, the #righttowork after waiting for a decision on their claim for 6 months #LiftTheBan (112:89)

What's next?
There are two more days of Report Stage: 2 and 8 March
We are calling on Peers to continue standing up to #injustice and:
🚨1. Reject regressive methods of age assessing young asylum seekers

🚨2. Reject measures making it harder for survivors of #trafficking to be identified and get support

🚨3. Reject Government attempts to re-interpret the Refugee Convention, particularly tests in clauses 31 & 32 that will make it harder for survivors of gender-based violence and LGBTQI+ asylum seekers to gain protection. Joint briefings w/ @4refugeewomen: bit.ly/3hvb4Dn

🚨4. As well as defeating the above provisions we, along w/ @hrw @AfghanAgencies @SulhaAlliance @womenforwomenUK @TheHALOTrust @lhpiron, urge members of the House of Lords to support an amendment expanding the Afghan Relocations Assistance Policy (#ARAP): bit.ly/3McKvkE

🚨5. We join @amnesty and @PRCBC1 to support an amendment for looked after #children and victims of historic injustice to register as citizens for free, & to stop the Home Office from charging prohibitive registration fees that restrict citizenship rights: bit.ly/3C7bbie

🚨6. We, along with @safepassageuk and 40+ other organisations, are also calling on members of the House of Lords to vote in favour of @AlfDubs' amendment to open a new safe route to #familyreunion for #refugees in #Europe: bit.ly/3tkMQS0

🚨7. And finally, along with @refugeecouncil and 50+ orgs, we urge the Government to commit to an emergency programme to provide #sanctuary to people fleeing Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine: refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/go…

🚨8. In addition we urge peers to support an amendment to reinstate the original Overseas Domestic Worker visa, to be debated on 8 March. Joint briefing with @Kalayaan, @kanlunganuk, @JCWI_UK, @libertyhq, @thevoiceofdws: bills.parliament.uk/publications/4…
