Asylum accommodation whistleblowers have revealed that asylum seekers are heading back home for their 'holidays'.

Whistleblowers have said three teenage asylum seekers from Iran who claimed they had to flee because of persecution, went back home to see their family.

Darren Jennings, who worked for an asylum accommodation company has said that one Iranian man went home last year for two months.

Jennings said “If you’re saying you’ve left the country because it’s unsafe and then you’re choosing to travel back there it doesn’t make sense.”
