A Ruling Uncovered by the Vulnerable The high court's recent ruling against Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's decision to reduce protections for potential trafficking victims under the "one in, one out" asylum deal is a stark reminder of the UK's patchy record on human rights.
The case centers around five small boat asylum seekers who were selected for removal to France and challenged the change in guidance that prevented them from asking for reconsideration of their cases.
The implications are far reaching. Many of those arriving in small boats have passed through Libya, a notorious hub of human trafficking.
