Starmer to curb asylum seekers using human rights to avoid deportation
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Sir Keir Starmer has announced a dramatic U-turn over international human rights laws which have been criticised for making it harder to deport asylum seekers. The prime minister said the government will review the way British courts apply the controversial European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which could mean asylum seekers are no longer able to avoid being sent back to their home country."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech through on-the-ground journalism and investigative work, funded by donations to keep reporting paywall-free. Donations support sending journalists to interview people across the political spectrum and to produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Sir Keir Starmer has announced a major U-turn on international human rights laws, initiating a review of how British courts apply the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The review targets articles three and eight concerning cruel and inhumane treatment in asylum seekers' home countries and the right to family unity, potentially restricting asylum claims.
