Waqar

Waqar is an Afghan asylum seeker who has been living in the hotel longer than some of his peers and is currently appealing a refused asylum claim. He expresses confusion over the reasoning behind the decision, which stated he could escape his country yet doubts the danger he faces. Waqar enjoys playing cricket with a local club but faces prejudice and hostility from some community members who associate asylum seekers with crime and unemployment, reflecting the broader societal issues surrounding the perception of immigrants.
