1/ #MigrationPact and #RuleofLaw: a thread

Member states hostile to #RuleofLaw and to EU values, are also those most hostile to migrants & refugees.

This is neither a surprise nor a concidence.

theguardian.com/law/2020/apr/0…
2/ With "return sponsorship" 🇪🇺#MigrationPact envisages countries 'hostile to migrants' would be tasked with detention and deportation.

This is worrying on a number of levels.

ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/…
3/ Essentially, the EU's "dirty work" of detention and returns will be farmed out to member states where the EU has *serious concerns* regarding judicial independence, freedom of expression, corruption, rights of minorities, and the situation of migrants and refugees.

Delighted to welcome Polish Judges and Prosecutors to @AmnestyEU office for a briefing on ongoing attacks on judicial independence.

Here's what they said;

"Any judge making a ruling inconvenient for the govenment risks disciplinary actions, suspension, or criminal proceedings" Image
"Prosecutors and judges are guardians of rule of law in Poland, but when they do their job, they are facing disciplinary proceedings" Image
"We are here to tell the EU that time is of crucial importance. We can easily reach a point when the changes taking place in Poland will be irreversible" Image

Rape and abuse in Spain’s strawberry industry

“Before I left my home I was like a hero to everyone. Nobody in my village had ever had the chance to go and work in a rich country like Spain...But it has turned out to be the worst decision of my life.”

Each year, Spain provides 'circular' visas to 20,000 Moroccan women to work in agriculture.

Women with children preferred.

The logic is, that separated from their young children they are more likely to return *and* are less likely to complain about conditions.
Its been almost 10yrs since @GAATW_IS produced an excellent report on Spain's cruel seasonal worker regime, and the exploitation and abuse facing Moroccan migrant women workers.

Horrific to see nothing has changed.

A key player behind the #GCM, @Morocco_UN have done much to improve international migration governance.

Yet global delegates prepare for #roadtomarrakech amidst reports from Morocco of crackdowns, pushbacks, & deaths of the very people for whom the #GCM was designed to protect.
