Under "False," a red X and the text: "Refugees must claim asylum in the first safe country they reach." Under "True," a green checkmark and text: "There is no rule in international law that says this.

They're often following family, community and historical connections that were built over generations." Below the text is a black and white photograph of the ship "Empire Windrush" with many people on deck. A green arrow symbol is at the bottom right corner.
