Five EU States Push Return Hubs in Uganda; Amnesty Warns of Rights Abuses

Interior ministers from Germany, Austria, Denmark, Greece, and the Netherlands meet in Copenhagen to advance a plan for 'return hubs' in Uganda, aiming to process asylum seekers outside the EU. Amnesty International denounces the project as illegal, citing risks of arbitrary detention, torture, and forced returns. The initiative signals a hardening of EU migration policy, but its legal and operational feasibility remains uncertain.
