LONDON: Thousands of women and child refugees will be refused entry to Britain if the government’s New Plan for Immigration is enacted, including those fleeing war-torn countries, according to research by Together With Refugees, a coalition of over 200 national and local organizations.
If pushed through Parliament, the new regulations would mean that most arrivals who would now be accepted as refugees covering people fleeing war or persecution would not be recognized by the UK.
Analysis found that the top five countries from where refugees are accepted by the UK are Iran, Sudan, Syria, Eritrea and Afghanistan.
Refugee organizations and human rights campaigners are now urging the government to abandon the plan.

A statistical bulletin from the UK Home Office reveals that in the year preceding March 2021 a time frame that neatly encompasses the age of coronavirus travel restrictions the nation welcomed an “estimated” 18 million passenger arrivals and granted 668,979 visas. While both figures are, as might be expected, considerable reductions on the previous year’s figures, they still resemble huge numbers of arrivals in a time where travel was severely restrictive and under some circumstances, holidaying could meet severe penalties.
