The High Court rules that the United Kingdom government unlawfully curtailed migrants’ legal protections by preventing reconsideration of human trafficking claims before removal to France under the "one in, one out" treaty.Judge Clive Sheldon finds that a change introduced last September shrinks the review window to roughly five days, a period that can exclude decisive evidence, and grants five asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan leave to pursue their claims.The
Home Office says it will appeal and that removals can continue while ministers, including Home Secretary
Shabana Mahmood, defend the policy and critics press for asylum-law reform and reconsideration of the
European Convention on Human Rights.
