The French human rights league LDH and the refugee aid organisation Utopia56 filed a lawsuit against the former Executive Director of the EU border protection agency Frontex, Fabrice Leggeri, on Tuesday. They accuse him of aiding and abetting torture and crimes against humanity. Leggeri, who is running for third place on the list of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) in the upcoming election of MEPs, indignantly rejects these accusations as a ‘political manoeuvre’ and threatens to counter-sue for defamation. The accusations against the former head of Frontex are nothing new. However, they take on an additional explosive flavour in the domestic and European political context of the elections.

The first flights deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda will take off in 10 to 12 weeks Rishi Sunak has announced - missing his original spring target. The government has already prepared an airfield and secured charter plane slots to ensure flights take off, the PM said. Mr Sunak promised to keep MPs and Lords late into the night on Monday to pass his flagship Rwanda bill. "No ifs, no buts, these flights are going to Rwanda," he said. He told a Downing Street press conference: "The first flight will leave in 10 to 12 weeks. "Of course that is later than we wanted but we have always been clear that processing will take time and if Labour peers had not spent weeks holding up the bill in the House of Lords to try to block these flights altogether we would have begin this process weeks ago." read more

Judges in Sicily have acquitted all crew members of an NGO rescue boat who had been accused of aiding and abetting illegal migration, in a case seen by activists as a symbol of the criminalisation of those who have sought to help at-risk refugees and migrants at sea. Friday’s verdict, after seven years of proceedings, followed a surprise turn of events in February when prosecutors in Trapani unexpectedly requested the charges be dropped owing to a lack of evidence. read more
