YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMigrants convicted of sexual offences will be unable to claim asylum in the UK under a change in the law aimed at tightening border security.
Under the Refugee Convention, countries can refuse asylum to some such as war criminals and those who have committed a “particularly serious crime” who present a danger to the community.
Currently in the UK, this is categorised as a criminal handed a prison sentence of one year or more.
Ministers are seeking to update this to include that anyone convicted of a crime in the UK which places them on the sex offenders register, regardless of the length of their sentence, will be denied refugee status.
As the decision becomes a nationwide topic of conversation, Suella Braverman, Conservative MP, joins Tom Swarbrick to discuss.
