A UK government inspection report has revealed that asylum seekers were placed in waist and leg restraints during forced deportation flights to France under the Home Office's "one in, one out" scheme, which exchanges small-boat arrivals with asylum seekers admitted legally from France. Four use-of-force incidents were recorded in connection with a flight on 16 January 2025, after detainees staged a sit-down protest that was suppressed using specialist personnel; two individuals remained restrained for the entire journey. Charity Medical Justice warned that many of those detained under the scheme show clinical evidence of torture or trafficking, making the use of physical restraints particularly damaging, while the report also flagged concerns over inadequate access to interpreters and legal counsel.
