"The [UK] Home Office failed to assess the risks that a digital-only [eVisa] scheme brings, particularly for those who are vulnerable, older, or disabled. It is also misleading in its assessment of the scheme as digital by default.”

"“In its DPIA, the [UK] Home Office failed to assess the risks that a digital only scheme brings."
“If the Home Office had identified some of these risks [of the eVisa scheme], migrants may not have experienced the same levels of distress and hardship that we have seen over the last year."
"The Information Commissioner's Office must investigate.”

The Immigration Exemption aims to let the UK Home Office and companies refuse requests for personal data because it might 'prejudice the maintenance of effective immigration control'.
We've fought against this exceptionalism in data protection, but the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill could undo it all.

In London to campaign for the release of her British-Egyptian son, Alaa Abdel Fattah, the 68.
She went on hunger strike the day after what should have been the end of his five-year prison sentence – though his relatives, along with human rights groups, say that he should never have been in prison at all.

e-Visas are a digital- and online-only replacement of physical documentation for migrants to prove their right to be in the UK.
Migrants are exposed to errors when their status is checked in real-time online. With records live matched across multiple database using algorithmic guess-work, it's an unstable system by design.
ORG's @sarahalsherif explains ⬇️
-
Our report, ‘e-Visas: Hostile and Broken’ reveals flaws in the rollout and implementation of the scheme.
Without a physical or saved digital proof of status, migrants will be exposed to data errors, system crashes and Internet outages.
