Require asylum seekers & foreign criminals to be detained on remote UK islands

Require asylum seekers & foreign criminals to be detained on remote UK islands — 31,022 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Require the offshore detention of asylum seekers and criminals who are foreign nationals on remote UK islands away from the general population whilst providing them with humanitarian aid and shelter. This could keep the UK population safe and reduce the taxpayer burden.

Additional details

We believe asylum seekers should be housed on remote UK islands whilst their claims are processed and receive basic humanitarian support rather than being placed in local communities at the taxpayers’ expense. We believe the Government’s first duty is to protect British citizens and secure the borders. If the ECHR prevents deportations, they should remain there until they can be returned.
