More than 100 asylum seekers stage ‘one in, one out’ protests at detention centres
AI Summary
Over 100 asylum seekers at Harmondsworth and Brook House detention centers in the UK staged overnight protests against the "one in, one out" scheme with France. The protests occurred on Wednesday night, coinciding with the first removal flight of 2026 on Thursday morning. Detainees are resisting removal to France due to safety concerns related to people smugglers and potential forced returns to their countries of origin under EU law. They also criticize the seemingly arbitrary nature of the scheme, where some asylum seekers are detained for removal while others have their claims processed in the UK. The "one in, one out" scheme has been called ineffective by both supporters and opponents of asylum seekers.
