The Court of Appeal of Aix-en-Provence rejected the retention in the international waiting area of large part of the asylum seekers who arrived in Toulon. The political decision announced on Friday (November 11) was that the 177 adult survivors would be kept “for a maximum of twenty days” in a designated area, as a way to avoid official entry into French territory while studying their “eligibility to apply for asylum.” The difficulty of managing such a number of files according to the legal framework was not taken into consideration, leading to a legal chaos potentially undermining migrants’ rights. read more

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine goes on, European countries have begun reinforcing their borders with Russia and its ally Belarus, to prevent the entry of refugees. The tactic, which Western officials referred to as 'weaponised migration' and 'hybrid warfare', has been employed by both Russia and Belarus since well before the war in Ukraine began in February. read more

Le Monde has revealed this Monday what happened almost a year ago, when a boat sank off Calais and its passengers were denied help by the French authorities. Following these revelations, the French government seems to be delaying action. "Obviously, if these facts are true, if these people were in French waters and if at any time there was a failure, a mistake, the sanctions will be taken," assured the State Secretary for the Sea, Hervé Berville, before the National Assembly this Thursday. read more
