Petition Action

Prohibit Border Force policy to turn back migrant boats

Petition Details

Migrants, many of whom are fleeing persecution, undertake dangerous crossings by water, including across the English Channel. The great personal risk which they take must not be made worse by allowing a UK Border Force policy of turning boats back. We have an obligation to our fellow human being.

Additional Information

BBC report 9 Sept 2021 that this policy is under consideration and training already happened to deploy this tactic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58495948
