UK announces harsher sentences for Channel migrants

Daily Times July 5, 2021 Britain has announced it will seek harsher sentences for migrants caught entering the country without permission amid a record-breaking surge in arrivals over the English Channel. The stricter prison sentences for both migrants and people smugglers come as part of Home Secretary Priti Patel’s plans to overhaul asylum rules in a bid to prevent what her department has characterised as “asylum shopping”. The legislation announced Saturday makes it a criminal offence to arrive in the UK without permission, with a maximum sentence for those entering the country unlawfully increasing from six months to four years. Under the law set for its first reading in parliament on Tuesday, people smugglers will face life sentences, up from the current maximum of 14 years.

UNWTO Secretary General Election Interference: Tourism Leaders Demand Fairness from Georgia

we n United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) election shenanigans. Georgia is not denying election interference for this weeks UNWTO Secretary General elections- nor did Georgia respond to eTN for comments and clarification. Summing up very well this troubling situation was a social media post by SKAL International UK. “We read the latest news from the heart of the travel and tourism industry with concern, but fully support the courage to report about it by Juergen Thomas Steinmetz and most aptly so on World Press Freedom Day. Silence is dangerous and vigilance essential in combating corruption.” Indeed, silence and looking the other way puts our industry in peril. We are concerned the response from UNWTO Executive Council members has been rather muted. There has been scant response about the egregious quid pro quo deals to buy votes for tourism’s top job by Georgia.
