UK: High Court finds operation of Detained Fast Track asylum system unlawful

"Last year, we mounted a legal challenge against the policy and practice of the Home Office’s Detained Fast Track (DFT) system. We argued it was a fundamentally unfair and flawed process, which created a real risk that many asylum seekers with strong claims for protection are being sent back to face persecution or human rights violations."
