Deporting an asylum seeker
An asylum seeker from China was caught in the U.K. when the police raided a gang that was participating in the trade of cannabis. In principle the news would not have much to do with the theme of this class, however, a Chinese citizen who had applied for asylum in the U.K. was caught in the raid. One of the arguments of the defense was that the conditions of his asylum in the U.K. did not allow him to work, so there was not much of an alternative for him to find money, other than to enter the illegal market.
Mr. Jiajie He, who acted as a curier for the gang will be deported to China once he serves his sentence in the U.K. Mr He’s lawyer argues that it is highly likely that his client will face cruel and unusual punishment because it is widely known that the Chinese government does not see with positive eyes Chinese nationals who apply for asylum. Moreover, another question that remains is the extent to which Mr. He has violated any law that prevents his case from being heard. The Convention of Refugees states that anyone who has committed a crime against humanity, against war, etc none of which could be indicted to Mr. He yet at end he is most likely to be deported.

this is absoluely ridiculous. If this man is not allowed to work, of course he is going to turn to the black market or illegal activities to survive. I think this article just illustrates the harsh stance towards immigration that is growing in Western countries. Though the birthrate is declining, most people have yet to realize that immigration is the way to survive. Also, it is simply incorrect to deport someone to a place where they will most likely be tortured. So called developped countries throw around a lot of words about their respect for human rights. I have only one in response to that: bullshit.
