The UK government has proposed dangerous new legislation for migrants entering the country.
The new policy would allow government officials to deport people arriving via boats entering from the English channel.
Many in the UK are critical of the bill for its rejection of human rights.
In 2022, more than 45,000 people entered the UK by crossing the English channel. That is almost double the previous year.
Already at the start of the year, 2,000 people have entered the UK by crossing the English channel.
With this new policy passed by the UK government, asylum seekers have been put in even more danger.
We at the Europe Peace Foundation stand with the rights of asylum seekers around the globe.
