Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has warned that Eritrean nationals could be barred from entering Britain after Eritrea allegedly halted co‑operation on returning people with no legal right to remain in the UK, including foreign national offenders and failed asylum seekers.
The Home Office has also imposed new restrictions on Eritrean diplomats. They must now obtain permission before travelling more than 60 kilometres outside London and have lost access to preferential visa arrangements.
