Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has urged the UK Government to recognise its international obligation to refugees and participate in the EU Commission's call for further resettlement of people fleeing Syria and Eritrea. Sturgeon said that "Scotland is willing to take our fair share of refugees". The UK needs to resettle significantly more refugees as outlined by the EU Commission and create other safe and legal routes for refugees to access protection, including making it much easier for people to be reunited with family members already in the UK." The UK has resettled less than 200 Syrian refugees since 2011. read more

Every year hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked across borders. Whether they are lured with the promise of a better life, attempting to escape poverty and violence, fleeing persecution in their home-state, or taken against their will, they are put in an incredibly vulnerable situation- completely dependent on their traffickers, with no say in their future. Malaysian media has just reported that Rohingya women who were being held captive at human trafficking camps in Thailand and Malaysia were being sexually assaulted by their captors. read more

A small boat crammed with two dozen migrants sputtered in the Mediterranean Sea as the motor cut out. It sat helplessly for an hour-and-a-half until, amid nightfall, a voice called out for help when another ship came close. That voice belonged to Syrian journalist Aliaa Hwijah was voyaging on the boat from Turkey in hopes of seeking asylum in Europe. Greek sailors found the idled vessel. "Hello! We need some help here!" Hwijah said in English in a video of the rescue obtained by NBC News' British partner, ITV News. The Greek coast guard told the stranded migrants to stay on board. Help was on its way. read more

Greece and Norway have agreed to use funding from the European Economic Area and Norway Grants to establish a new reception center on the island of Lesvos. Through the EEA and Norway Grants, Norway will use 1.6 million euros to fund the day-to-day operation of the reception center on the island of Lesvos for a one-year period. This will enhance Greece’s capacity to receive migrants. The center is due to open later this year. At the same time, Norway is extending its support for a similar reception center in north-eastern Greece (Fylakio, near the Turkish border) for a further year, until 2017. read more

On Tuesday hundreds of migrants were kicked out of their makeshift homes in Paris, France. In France in particular, where political parties are collectively moving towards the right, many people are fearful that the influx of migrants will overwhelm the country. It’s understandable that locals are concerned about the growing number of migrants entering their cities. What’s not understandable is shutting the doors on vulnerable people in need of help. read more

The European Union (EU) has responded to the Mediterranean migrant crisis by criminalising migration and proposing a military solution to stop people dying at sea.
