‘Now appeal, appeal later’ Plan: UK expands policy in 23 countries – is India in the list?
The UK government is expanding its exile policy as part of its ongoing migration crack for criminals. The government aims to extradite foreign criminals more rapidly by incorporating additional countries in the existing scheme. On Saturday, the government announced its intentions to deport the criminals soon after the sentence was pronounced under the policy, “Deport Now, Later”, the independent said.
Is India a part of the list of new countries?
Earlier only 8 countries were in the list, where criminals were deported. Now this list has expanded to 23 countries. And yes, India is also one of them. The present government planned to expand the partnership. Previously, criminals were returned to Finland, Nigeria, Estonia, Albania, Belize, Mauritius, Tanzania and Kosovo for distance hearing. Additional countries include Angola, Australia, Botswana, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Guyana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Latvia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Uganda and Jambia, expected to be added to further countries.He said the measure “is the latest device of the government in its comprehensive perspective to increase our ability to remove foreign criminals,” saying that 5,200 expenses of foreign criminals have been expelled since July 2024, marking a 14% increase compared to the previous year. Home Secretary Yatete Cooper said, “Those who commit crime in our country cannot be allowed to manipulate the system, which is why we are restoring control and sending a clear message that our laws should be respected and implemented.” Foreign Secretary David Lemi said, “We are leading diplomatic efforts to increase the number of countries where foreign criminals can be returned rapidly, and if they want to appeal, they can do so safely from their country. Under this scheme, we are investing in international partnerships that maintain our safety and make our roads safe. , The two ministers opposed the hostile environmental policy during the protest. In 2015, the Sir Kire Stmper questioned the viability of the policy, given that the in-person appeal was ideal for two centuries and “a highly effective way to resolve differences.” He also expressed concern about the impact on children whether the parents were deported and later returned after a successful appeal. In today’s announcement, the Prime Minister’s administration emphasized its goal to prevent individuals from “gaming systems” and to close the remaining people in the UK for an extended period, while their appeal is processed.
‘Exempted now, appeal later’ history of policy
This approach was first introduced in 2014 when Barona Theresa May served as Home Secretary, which was made part of the hostile environmental policy of the conservative government to reduce the migration. Under Section 94B of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, this policy led the return of hundreds of persons in countries such as Kenya and Jamaica. In 2017, the Supreme Court effectively stopped the policy after challenging on the basis of human rights, stating that the appeal to abroad was not complied with human rights standards. In 2023, the then Home Secretary Sula Breverman restored the policy after establishing more facilities abroad to register an appeal.
