There has been an exponential increase in the number of Albanians being deported, and Albanians are disproportionately represented in immigration detention centres.
In this talk, Kristina Millona discusses recent developments in the UK which have led to the stigmatisation, over-policing and the incarceration of Albanian men and asylum seekers in detention, including key changes to the Country Policy and Information Notes (CPIN) on Human Trafficking in Albania.
