Judge halts removal of Eritrean asylum seeker from UK to France under ‘one in, one out’
AI Summary
A UK High Court judge has temporarily blocked the removal of an Eritrean asylum seeker to France under the "one in, one out" scheme, which exchanges asylum seekers between the UK and France to deter small boat crossings. The judge cited concerns about the man's access to accommodation and healthcare in France, and the potential harm to his mental health, as he is a confirmed trafficking victim with PTSD. The 31-year-old asylum seeker, who arrived in the UK in August, argues that France does not provide adequate support for trafficking victims, and had previously been unsuccessful in claiming asylum there. The judge found that France may not recognize him as a trafficking victim since the exploitation occurred in Libya. The "one in, one out" scheme has seen 370 people brought to the UK and 354 sent to France as of March 5th, but small boat crossings continue.
