Britain's Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced a new 30-month asylum claim review on Monday among other major changes to the asylum system, which she described as "existential" to the country’s survival. Family reunion arrangements will also be tightened and subject to financial and integration requirements. Any route to settlement on the core protection route will require ten to 20 years of residence. The reforms will apply to new asylum claims made, with transitional provisions ensuring that existing claims will be considered under the current framework. Unaccompanied children will continue to receive five years’ leave to remain for the time being, pending further policy decisions. read more

"In recent months, the Egyptian authorities renewed their campaign of arbitrarily detaining and unlawfully deporting refugees and asylum seekers solely based on their irregular immigration status in blatant violation of the principle of non-refoulement and Egypt's own asylum law," it noted. read more

A new UN report finds that migrants in Libya are trapped in a brutal system of killings, torture, sexual violence and trafficking that has become a normalized “business model.” Based on interviews with nearly 100 survivors, the report documents arbitrary detention, slavery-like exploitation and forced returns that expose people to repeated cycles of abuse. UN officials are calling for the immediate release of detainees, an end to dangerous interceptions and deportations, and stronger international safeguards to stop complicity in the violence. read more
