Countries Change Rules to Send People Away

Introduction

The UK and other European countries want to change how they use human rights laws. They want to make it easier to send foreign criminals out of the country.

Main Body

The UK, Denmark, and Italy lead this plan. They say some criminals use laws about family and torture to stay in the country. The leaders want to change these rules to keep their borders safe. Some lawyers and groups are angry. They say these changes are bad for human rights. They worry that people will not be safe from bad treatment. The UK also wants to build special centers. These centers will help send people to other countries. The UK is talking to other nations about this plan now.

Conclusion

The UK and 45 other countries want this new agreement. Human rights groups say this is a mistake.
