UK Court Approves Deportation of Eritrean Asylum Seeker Under France Deal
UK Court's Ruling on Asylum Seeker Deportation
LONDON (Reuters) -A UK High Court judge has ruled that Britain can deport an Eritrean asylum seeker under its returns deal with France, Sky News reported on Thursday, days after the same judge temporarily blocked the removal of another migrant under the scheme.
Details of the Deportation Agreement
This comes as Britain said earlier on Thursday that it had returned the first migrant to France under its "one in, one out" agreement to remove people who arrive on small boats, after legal challenges had stalled the start of the scheme.
Legal Challenges and Medical Concerns
Lawyers for the man said he was scheduled to be removed at 0615 GMT on Friday under the "one in, one out" deal, according to Sky News, but argued he had multiple medical needs and was a victim of trafficking.
