The covert airlift – codenamed Operation Rubific - was launched after the UK military catastrophically lost a database of Afghans who had applied for sanctuary in the UK in a scheme for those who had worked with British forces to flee the murderous Taliban.  The data blunder also exposed British officials whose details were on the database. And the Mail can exclusively reveal that several Afghans on list had previously been rejected for violent or sexual assaults. Instead of coming clean about all this, the Ministry of Defence mounted a cover-up and successfully hushed up the Daily Mail's exclusive data-breach story when we discovered it in August 2023. Ever since then, cloaked by an unprecedented news blackout, ministers have been clandestinely running one of the biggest peacetime evacuation missions in modern British history to rescue people the UK had imperilled: smuggling thousands out of Afghanistan and flying them to Britain at vast cost, with taxpayers being neither asked no...

  Social networks often play an important role in shaping migrant decision-making and movements (p20) Where migrants can exert a degree of agency over their destination choice, social networks often play an important role in shaping their journeys. These networks are usually understood to comprise friends and family members, community organisations and intermediaries. Welfare policies and labour market access have little impact on migrant decision making (p24) Economic rights do not act as a pull factor for asylum seekers. A review of the relationship between Right to Work and numbers of asylum applications concluded that no study reported a long-term correlation between labour market access and destination choice. Very few migrants have any experience of a welfare state such as exists in the UK and imagine that they will be able to (if not expected to) work and support themselves upon arrival.

For the nurses and doctors from Afghanistan this might be your legal way out. Or for the grandchildren of migrants to Southafrica who would rather move to Europe. Or all those other professionals. The UK set up a special program: Frontline carers are eligible for work permits from today: six things to bear in mind.

Je zou je kunnen afvragen of het een Lichter Middel is zoals de Terugkeerrichtlijn beschrijft. Een Terugkeerrichtlijn waar post Brexit Engeland niets meer heeft maar ook daarvoor niets mee had vanwege een opt out.  "The new style tags are GPS devices which can track where a person is at any given time. They are fitted on a person’s leg and must be charged daily. People already on bail who are subject to mandatory tagging will be the subject of a review and devices will start to be fitted unless an exemption applies. The policy provides that such people may have devices fitted at reporting centres or at home. A bail condition requiring a person to wear a GPS tag can be combined with restrictions on their movements, including curfews and conditions on where they can go (called inclusion or exclusion zones)." Van mijn clienten in de Emiraten ken ik dit van mensen die COVID hebben en thuis moeten blijven. Zie " Mandatory GPS tagging for people on immigration bail...

Middels een advertentie op mijn Yahoo email programma stuitte ik op de site met Nederlandstalige informatie van de Britse overheid. Let vooral op de Kennismigrantenregeling die zij lijken te hebben gekopieerd van ons, een soort van Zoekjaar dat langer geldig is en vooral de extra mogelijkheden voor mensen met een medische of verzorgingsachtergrond.   Overzicht Het VK heeft de Europese Unie op 31 januari 2020 verlaten. Mocht u op of voor 31 december 2020 niet in het VK wonen en u geen rechten heeft onder het Terugtrekkingsakkoord (Withdrawal Agreement), dient u vanaf 1 januari 2020 te voldoen aan specifieke eisen om in het VK te studeren of werken. Ook zult u gevraagd worden om controles te doorlopen, waaronder een controle op strafbare feiten vanuit het VK. U kunt het VK gedurende 6 maanden blijven bezoeken zonder een visum aan te vragen en u mag deelnemen aan een breed scala van activiteiten, waaronder toerisme, het bezoeken van familie en vrienden, korte termijn stude...

All asylum seekers, including children and young people, find that the starting point for any official making a decision in their case is to doubt their narratives and subject them to disbelief and incredulity. Even in this climate of disbelief, Albanian asylum claims have been singled out for particular hostility.  Breaking the Chains — a partnership project between the Migrant and Refugee Children’s Legal Unit (MiCLU) at Islington Law Centre and Shpresa Programme — is dedicated to improving outcomes for Albanian children and young people seeking asylum. It has just launched an interim evaluation report presenting key findings from Year 1 of the project.

UK set to lose right to transfer refugees to other EU countries under Dublin regulation More than 4,100 people have reached Britain by crossing the Channel in small boats so far this year. Photograph: Gareth Fuller/PA Jennifer Rankin in Brussels Thu 20 Aug 2020 12.33 BST Last modified on Fri 21 Aug 2020 04.37 BST EU negotiators have rejected a British request for a migration pact that would allow the government to return asylum seekers to other European countries. When the Brexit transition period expires on 31 December, the government will lose the right to transfer refugees and migrants to the EU country in which they arrived, a cornerstone of the European asylum system known as the Dublin regulation. The government is seeking to replicate the European system outside the bloc, although the Home Office has complained that the EU rules are “rigid, inflexible and abused by migrants and activist lawyers”.

The EU Settlement Scheme statistics for February 2020 are out. They show 300 refusals. We’re told by the Home Office that the increase is mainly due to refusals for eligibility, not over criminality. The two core reasons, the Home Office says, for the jump in refusals are: Failing to provide eligibility evidence, either at the application stage or in reply to requests from the Home Office Caseworkers. Non-EEA/Swiss family members failing to evidence their relationship to the EEA/Swiss sponsor. This could include failing to provide a marriage certificate or not possessing the relevant document as a dependent relative. Officials say that they made every attempt to obtain the necessary evidence before refusing applications, and that decisions to refuse were not taken lightly and signed off at a high level.  Lees hier verder: https://www.freemovement.org.uk/300-people-turned-down-by-eu-settlement-scheme/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=300-people-tu...

 The Innovator visa, launched in March 2019 to “ enhance the UK’s offer to overseas entrepreneurial talent “, has attracted a grand total of 14 applications in its first six months of operation.

1) The UK and the EU are currently negotiating the terms of an implementation period to commence after our withdrawal from the EU. The purpose of such a period is to give people, businesses, and public services in the UK and across the EU the time they need to put in place the new arrangements that will be required to adjust to our future partnership. 2) As part of these negotiations, the EU has proposed that the provisions on citizens’ rights in the Withdrawal Agreement should apply as of the end of the implementation period. Given the UK will leave the EU on 29 March 2019, and become a third country, we do not believe this is the right approach. The expectations of EU citizens arriving in the UK after our exit will not be the same as those who moved here before our withdrawal, and the same will be true of UK nationals moving to an EU Member State. It should therefore be for the UK and for Member States to determine the rights and pathways to settlement that new...

Posted on August 30, 2017 by mkp Arranz (EEA Regulations – Deportation – Test: Spain) [2017] UKUT 294 (IAC) (22 August 2017) Over the years, the CJEU has carved out a special status for those bad EU citizens whose extreme crimes totally transgress the laws of the host member state. For example, in Dimitry Kochenov ’s excellent new book EU Citizenship and Federalism: The Role of Rights , Loïc Azoulai advances a formidable analysis by exposing the dichotomy between “good citizen” cases such as Carpenter ( C-60/00 ) and Zambrano ( C-34/09 ) and “bad citizen” cases such as P.I. ( C-348/09 ) who sexually abused his partner’s daughter and M.G. ( C-400/12 ) who was convicted of child abuse. Indeed, as Azoulai explains, there is an element of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in the picture and bad citizens symbolise “the unavailability of each and every mode of integration into society”. In Tsakouridis ( C-145/09 ), the CJEU held that organised crime representing “a serio...

Members of the charity’s Child Trafficking Advice Centre (CTAC) spent a week in France training volunteers in how to identify vulnerable children. They found young people are being illegally transported hundreds or even thousands of miles across the world by smugglers, frequently exposing them to horrifying physical and sexual abuse. Children as young as nine living in the camp could be vulnerable to traffickers, the charity warned. Vietnamese children are especially prevalent in the camp. It is believed they are being smuggled to the UK to work as slaves on cannabis farms.  Read more here: https://www.rt.com/uk/358062-vietnamese-children-calais-smugglers/ Interessant artikel?

There has been no change to the rights and status of EU nationals in the UK, and UK nationals in the EU, as a result of the referendum. The decision about when to trigger Article 50 and start the formal process of leaving the EU will be for the new Prime Minister. The UK remains a member of the EU throughout this process, and until Article 50 negotiations have concluded. When we do leave the EU, we fully expect that the legal status of EU nationals living in the UK, and that of UK nationals in EU member states, will be properly protected. The government recognises and values the important contribution made by EU and other non-UK citizens who work, study and live in the UK. I have lived in the UK for more than 5 years. What does the vote to leave the EU mean for me? EU nationals who have lived continuously and lawfully in the UK for at least 5 years automatically have a permanent right to reside. This means that th...

By Gareth Davies If the UK withdraws from the EU, then its citizens will cease to be citizens of the Union. That much is simple – Article 20 TFEU doesn’t leave any doubt that Union citizens are those who are citizens of the Member States. Still, while that provision was once thought to make Union citizenship dependent on national citizenship, in Rottmann the Court turned it neatly around, showing how it made national citizenship equally dependent on EU law. In that case a German citizen was faced with threatened denaturalisation, which would be likely to leave him stateless. He argued that the denaturalisation, because it also deprived him of his Union citizenship, was an interference with his EU law rights, and so should be constrained by EU law. He won on the principle, although he probably lost on the facts: the Court said that indeed, a national measure which deprives a Union citizen of their Union citizenship clearly falls within the scope of EU law, and is th...

New article by Barzoo Eliassi, Senior lecturer, Linnaeus University, Department of Social Work, Sweden ABSTRACT Mass displacement in the Middle East is a major political challenge for contemporary Middle Eastern and Western states. As a consequence, statelessness has emerged as one of the central political issues in relation to the collapse and weakening of the states in the Middle East. Through deploying a qualitative inquiry and interviews with 50 Kurdish immigrants, this article investigates how members of Kurdish diasporas in Sweden and the UK conceive and experience statelessness in a world of unequal nation-states and hierarchical citizenship. Since diasporas are important non-state actors in nation-building processes, it is important to analyse their diasporic visions and the ways they challenge or reinforce the power of the nation-state in the context of migration. While from a legal or a right-based approach, the solution to statelessness is found in a...

Hundreds of failed asylum-seekers, including former child migrants, are to be sent back to Afghanistan after the Court of Appeal ruled that deportations can be resumed. A blanket ban on deportations back to the war-ravaged country was imposed in August last year amid concerns that it was too dangerous. Swathes of territory are controlled by the Taliban, and Isis is establishing a foothold. But Home Secretary Theresa May won a significant legal battle to restart the flights – even though last year was the bloodiest on record for civilian casualties in the country. According to leaked documents obtained by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, even the Afghan government pleaded with the UK not to resume deportations.  More here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/refugee-crisis-afghanistan-ruled-safe-enough-to-deport-asylum-seekers-from-uk-a6910246.html Interessant artikel?

CASUS: Koerden komen op hun vlucht 17 jaar geleden aan op Cyprus en vragen asiel aan Groot-Brittanie op een Britse legerbasis. Ze willen naar Engeland. Engeland erkent geen asielaanvragen op legerbasissen want die willen ze niet zien overstromen met asielzoekers. Koerden vragen geen asiel aan op Cyprus omdat ze van mening zijn dat hun kans op werk daar nihil is. Met als gevolg dat ze al 17 jaar in een hutje op de basis wonen met 75 personen. Wat vindt U?  Mag zowel juridische uitleg als niet juridische mening zijn. Ik hou de mijne nog even voor me. Cyprus refugees hope courts end 17-year-wait on UK base The 75 asylum-seekers set sail from Lebanon in 1998 [AFP] When Taj Bashir saw land after days adrift aboard a ramshackle fishing trawler, he thought his treacherous journey from persecution in Sudan to sanctuary in Europe was finally over. But 17 years later, he and dozens of fellow passengers remain stranded on a British military base on the Mediterranean island of...
