Home Office sending Vietnamese deportees ‘back into harms way’ of traffickers, human rights group warns

THE Home Office risks putting Vietnamese nationals back in the hands of traffickers by targeting them for mass deportations, a human rights group has warned. 

A charter flight to the south-east Asian country went ahead on Wednesday despite warnings that there may have been victims of trafficking on board. 

It’s not clear how many people were on the flight from Birmingham, but campaigners said that there could have been up to 22. Britain’s first ever charter flight to Vietnam was in April, removing 14 people.
