1. I've previously argued - at @LordsEUCom, @Europarl_EN & via @ConversationUK - that continued uncertainty re #citizensrights may constitute violation of Art 8 ECHR: theconversation.com/eu-citizens-ri… data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc… @BRinEUROPE @NewEuropeans @HaringeyLibDems
2. ECtHR has found that where uncertainty & precariousness of individual’s situation affects network of his or her personal, social & economic relations, there can be an infringement of Art 8. A situation of insecurity should in any case be short-lived. @BRinEUROPE @NewEuropeans
3. I now want to take this a bit further & suggest that continued precariousness sh perhaps be examined in context of 'hostile environment' vis-a-vis immigrants, e.g. re immigration exception in Data Proetction, bank accounts checks, surprise raids etc @NewEuropeans @libertyhq
4. In other words, not only are EU citizens uncertain abt right to stay, but they're also - arguably - assailed by doubts & fear abt the consequences of not establishing such a right, in context of 'hostile environment'. #citizensrights #ECHR
