Over 70 asylum seekers get £500K in compensation after UK court rules phone seizures violated their human rights.
Over 70 asylum seekers who arrived by boat in the UK have been awarded £500,000 in compensation after a court ruled that the blanket seizure of their phones and SIM cards violated their human rights.
The ruling, based on breaches of privacy and family life under the European Convention on Human Rights, found no lawful justification for the confiscations, which disrupted access to vital documentation and communication.
The decision stems from a policy under the previous government, now replaced by new border laws allowing targeted phone searches to combat smuggling.
The Home Office confirmed the payouts are for past violations and emphasized that current rules are lawful and aimed at disrupting organized crime.
