Braverman's plan to ban Channel asylum claims breaches international law, rights groups say

Home Secretary's 'inhumane plans undermine rules introduced after the Holocaust that ensure no one fleeing persecution is refused protection because of how they arrive', say campaigners

Ms Braverman pledged a “total and undeniable and unfettered and unconditional commitment to doing whatever it takes” to bring down crossings, but avoided locking herself into figures for a reduction in numbers, noting there were “no quick fixes and the problem is chronic”.

“If you deliberately enter the United Kingdom illegally from a safe country, you should be swiftly returned to your home country or relocated to Rwanda. That is where your asylum claim will be considered.” Ex-MP Anna Soubry added: “6 years ago Braverman would have been regarded as an obnoxious weirdo on the fringes of the Conservative party. Now she’s not just mainstream but Home Secretary. Another example of how the Conservatives have shifted away from the centre-right to the hard right of UK politics.”
