By Emma Batha LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Britain is locking up stateless people for long periods even though there is nowhere they can be deported to, campaigners, lawyers and academics said on Thursday as they called for a strict time limit on detention. The European Network on Statelessness (ENS) estimates several hundred stateless people are living in “hidden misery” in Britain, at risk of destitution and exploitation. Many are subject to “prolonged and pointless detention” as Britain tries to remove them even though no country will accept them, ENS director Chris Nash said.
