Man who returned to UK last month after being sent back to France in September is flown back again
An Iranian man who returned to the UK on a small boat after being sent back to France under the “one in, one out” scheme has been removed for a second time, the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said on Wednesday.
The man was flown back to France, despite continuing to insist he is a victim of modern slavery.
A statement from Mahmood on Wednesday emphasised the government’s determination to make the returns scheme work, saying that “anyone looking to return to the UK after being removed under the UK-France agreement is wasting their time and money”.
Mahmood continued: “This individual was detected by biometrics and detained instantly. His case was expedited, and now he has been removed again.
