NewzUK Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced that the British government is considering travel bans on Eritrean nationals. The proposed measure is intended to pressure the Eritrean government into resuming cooperation regarding the return of rejected asylum seekers and foreign criminals to their home country.
The threat follows Eritrea's decision earlier this year to abruptly withdraw from existing returns agreements. The policy aims to restrict the movement of Eritrean officials and VIPs to the UK unless the east African nation agrees to accept the return of its citizens who have been denied legal status in Britain.
