Labour's weakening of protections for modern slavery victims, focus on increasing deportations, and push to reduce the applicability of human rights laws all combine to mean that people like Hakan are left at more risk and without support.

We urge the Government to:
👉 Expand safe routes for all people seeking asylum.
👉 End the use of immigration detention.
👉 Ensure access to legal advice and fair asylum procedures for all, regardless of how they arrive to the UK.
👉 Uphold the right to seek asylum.

Any deal that relies so heavily on immigration detention cannot be considered humane.
Our decade’s worth of work supporting women who have been detained shows how harmful and retraumatising it is.

This government signed a £140 million contract to reopen the Campsfield detention centre, notorious for its appalling conditions before its closure in 2019.
Plans to expand detention by 45% will only harm more people and put them at severe risk.

This case has always shown the farcical, and inhumane, nature of the Home Office, across multiple governments and Home Secretaries. A scared kid messes up on their claim and it takes 26 years to accept they should have been provided with asylum from the start

Why are journalists so keen to sensationalise this particular deportation. Other than his mistaken release from prison all the rest of it sounds like it's business as normal. That's how deportations work folks...

You don't always know with deportations what happens next. Different countries, different "justice" systems. Quite often, because they haven't committed crimes in the country they are deported to, people are released. Sometimes they face far worse punishments. Either way, you just shifted the issue.

I know it's controversial, but I really don't agree with deportations. I personally think we should actually get people to serve their time and invest the vast amounts deportations cost into the prison system to reduce recidivism rates overall, rather than just saying they're someone else's problem.

Labour going even further on weakening protections for modern slavery and trafficking victims. When your government is worse on areas of migrants rights than Theresa May it's time to question what you're doing. You definitely can't pretend to be the "progressive".

The full podcast can be found here. It isn't too long, but on it I explain how this government could reduce the number of people forced into hotels, thereby reducing costs as well. It absolutely does not include using detention camps. #r4today

There's no excuse for using camps to place people seeking asylum. They have already been shown to cause more stress and trauma. They're inhumane, more expensive, and still lead to protests. They are the worst of all worlds. #r4today

There are better alternatives 👇

There is no silver bullet to reducing the number of people stuck in hotels, but by fast tracking claims and providing asylum for those from high grant rate countries, providing those seeking asylum with the right to work, and investing in community schemes this government could make a difference.

The judgement builds on case law surrounding powers of immigration detention + consequent immigration bail. These powers can only be applied where there is some prospect of removal.
Now the High Court has extended the application of these principles to the exercise of electronic monitoring powers.

The indefinite nature of detention causes severe harm, leaving many people in detention depressed, hopeless, and intensely fearful. People are also distressed and frustrated by uncertainty over how long they will be held and whether they will be able to remain in the UK.

Detention is inherently harmful, but people with mental disorders or past trauma are at greater risk of severe harm in detention. We are deeply concerned that people escaping persecution and crossing the Channel now face detention and removal under the new asylum deal.

Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs) are built like prisons. Each year, 1000s of people in detention are locked in cells smaller than a parking space, up to 12 hours a day. This government plans to open more IRCs and trap even more people inside, under threat of forced removal.

For thousands of people each year, detention is the place where their liberty is taken away, where they’re cut off from loved ones, and where uncertainty is the norm. In our new explainer series, we aim to highlight the reality of detention and the harm it causes.

The Home Office is often failing to identify survivors of human trafficking, subjecting them to further harm in detention. Among people we support under the UK-France deal, at least 16 have shown strong signs of being trafficked. Only 5 were referred for assessment and support.

People seeking asylum are given only seven days to challenge their removal to France. Predictably, the system in place to provide legal support for people in detention is failing. Some are unable to obtain legal representation and end up missing crucial deadlines.

Escaping persecution. Losing loved ones. Surviving smugglers & dangerous journeys. Reaching the UK. Being denied the right to work. Waiting months or years for protection. Living in fear of detention & return, all before rebuilding your life.
PM Starmer: This is no "golden ticket".

People seeking asylum have survived torture, war, abuse, and the violent loss of loved ones. Under this scheme, they are now thrown into prison-like detention facilities and often trapped in small cells for up to 12 hours a day. Detention causes great harm to their health.
