The story of Afghan Said Ghullam Norzai and his son Wali Khan, 10, has provided a microcosm of the UK asylum experienceHello. We just wanted to update you on the latest developments with our project The new arrivals, focusing on the lives, hopes, dreams and difficulties of the new wave of refugees, migrants and asylum seekers that have come into Europe in the past two years. Our principal focus has been the Afghan farmer Said Ghullam Norzai and his 10-year-old son Wali Khan, who lost seven other family members on their way to Britain last year. His case is a neat microcosm of the agony and uncertainty of the asylum process. Will will also catch up with the stories of new arrivals in Germany, France and Spain via our project partners Le Monde, Der Spiegel and El País.
