Dr Waheed Arian's Message to the British People

Dr Waheed Arian arrived in the UK as a child refugee. Waheed is a British doctor and radiologist, born in Afghanistan. He founded a telemedicine charity called Arian Teleheal. He is one of the NHS heroes who fought on the Covid-19 frontline during the pandemic.

In this short video, made in partnership with Freedom From Torture charity, he sends a message to the British people and government about the UK's New Plan for Immigration and the impact it will have on those seeking safety and sanctuary in the UK.
