Ban access to legal aid funds for illegal migrant appeals

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 16 April 2026

This petition calls on the Government to prohibit access to legal aid funding for asylum appeals following a rejected claim, which would help ensure that individuals whose claims have been fully assessed and refused are removed from the UK without delay. We believe the UK asylum appeals system is financially unsustainable. Over 100,000 people are awaiting appeal outcomes, with cases taking 63 weeks on average. Many rejected applicants stay in hotels costing on average £118.87 per night, totalling over £52,000 per person and more than £5.25bn overall. This petition calls for ending legal aid for failed claims and ensuring immediate removal after refusal to reduce costs and improve system efficiency.

Conduct review of asylum decisions granted on basis of applicant's sexuality

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 15 April 2026

We want the government to launch an investigation into all successful asylum applications over the last 20 years that granted leave to remain where a contributing factor to acceptance was based on the supposed sexuality of the applicant and the corresponding risk in their home country. A recent BBC investigation has revealed an industry behind bogus asylum applications. We feel that the industry of processing bogus asylum claims is not just fraud, it is serious organised crime. We think the government has a duty to find out how deeply this criminality has spread and how long it has been going on.

Question 14331 — politique extérieure

France · National Assembly · 14 April 2026

Mme Tiffany Joncour attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la situation des populations arméniennes déplacées du Haut-Karabakh, ainsi que sur les menaces persistantes pesant sur les droits fondamentaux, le patrimoine religieux et culturel arménien et la sécurité des personnes encore affectées par le conflit entre l'Arménie et l'Azerbaïdjan. En septembre 2023, l'offensive menée par l'Azerbaïdjan au Haut-Karabakh a provoqué l'exode de plus de 100 000 Arméniens vers l'Arménie. Plus de deux ans après ces évènements, de nombreuses familles déplacées demeurent dans une situation de grande fragilité sociale, économique et psychologique. Par ailleurs, plusieurs organisations internationales et institutions européennes continuent d'alerter sur le sort de détenus arméniens poursuivis ou condamnés en Azerbaïdjan dans des conditions fortement contestées, ainsi que sur la nécessité de préserver les lieux de culte, les monuments et l'héritage chrétien arménien dans les territoires passés sous contrôle azerbaïdjanais. Alors même qu'une perspective de normalisation entre l'Arménie et l'Azerbaïdjan a été ouverte en 2025, la stabilité durable du Caucase du Sud ne saurait être envisagée sans garanties effectives en matière de droit international humanitaire, de protection des populations civiles, de respect de la liberté religieuse, de sauvegarde du patrimoine et de libération des personnes détenues en violation de leurs droits fondamentaux. Elle lui demande donc quelles initiatives diplomatiques la France entend prendre, au plan bilatéral comme dans les enceintes européennes et multilatérales, afin de soutenir durablement l'Arménie dans l'accueil des déplacés du Haut-Karabakh ; d'obtenir toute la lumière sur le sort des détenus arméniens encore retenus en Azerbaïdjan et d'œuvrer à leur libération ; de garantir la protection effective du patrimoine religieux et culturel arménien, en particulier chrétien ; et de veiller à ce que tout processus de paix entre l'Arménie et l'Azerbaïdjan s'accompagne de garanties concrètes, vérifiables et durables pour la sécurité, la dignité et les droits des populations concernées.
