>“I was so happy to survive the journey across the Channel and to reach land in the UK. Then the Home Office locked me up. I’m still in a state of shock,” said one man from Eritrea, speaking to the Guardian by phone from a detention centre.
>“We did not understand what was happening to us when the Home Office moved us from Manston [the former military base in Kent] where we were processed, straight to this place which is like a jail.
>“When we asked why they were bringing some who arrived on the same boat as me here but letting others go free, they did not answer us. They just said it was because we crossed the Channel illegally.”
>The man said that neither he nor anyone he knew in northern France knew anything about the “one in, one out” deal and was not sure it would prevent people from continuing to try to cross the Channel.
>“I am very frightened here. There are people who have committed crimes in the UK locked up with us. We have done nothing wrong apart from trying to find a safe place.”
I don’t know what to say.
“It asks detainees to notify the Home Office if they are seriously ill or a victim of rape, torture, or violence, although officials are supposed to screen for these vulnerabilities before detaining people.”
“He claimed to have been trafficked and tortured when he passed through Libya on his journey from Eritrea. “I believe if I am sent back to France and the smugglers find me, they will kill me,” he said.”
“Those we have spoken with so far are in acute distress, and many have been victims of torture, exploited by traffickers on their journeys or victims of modern slavery in Libya.”
What’s the likelihood that new arrivals will make false claims of being tortured and be supported by activists in doing so?
It’s a decent start, but if France send us their least desirable in exchange it could end up backfiring. It would simply be a stronger deterrent if we could also filter those out by sending them on to El Salvador and Rwanda as the USA is now doing.
I mean, this is hardly surprising given that the scheme has only just started. The idea is that word will start to spread once these migrants are returned to France.
