Freedom From Torture is resisting calls from the British Home Office to remove a video.

The video in question shows a Holocaust survivor, Joan Salter confronting the far right British Home Secretary Suella Braverman over her hateful discourse towards immigrants.

The Guardian reported that: 

In footage of the exchange, provided by the charity Freedom From Torture, Salter said: I am a child survivor of the Holocaust. In 1943, I was forced to flee my birthplace in Belgium and went across war-torn Europe and dangerous seas until I finally was able to come to the UK in 1947. When I hear you using words against refugees like ‘swarms’ and an ‘invasion’, I am reminded of the language used to dehumanise and justify the murder of my family and millions of others. Why do you find the need to use that kind of language?

Freedom  From Torture is refusing to bend and insists "we are standing our ground." 

The full video is here.

Share it widely in support of Freedom From Torture and in opposition to Braverman's rhetoric of hate.
