Image and quote from an asylum seeker in Swansea

The following contribution was written by an asylum seeker in Swansea.

“Usually I am desperate to go out. I can jump over this fence or break the panels to escape, but today I want to stay in, way behind the fence, to avoid people passing by, I may need to have a thicker net. The world is at a standstill. The grass is definitely greener this side!”
