UK-France asylum return scheme leaves returnees injured, charity finds

A Paris-based health service has documented bruising and fractures among asylum seekers returned from the UK to France under the 'one in, one out' pilot, alleging signs of violence during detention and transfer. The scheme, which pairs Channel crossings with legal transfers, is set to end on 1 October. The findings raise humanitarian and legal concerns about the pilot's implementation, though the UK and French governments have not yet responded.
