Two U.N. human rights commissioners have rebuked the Sunak government for its centerpiece legislation, passed earlier this week, to crack down on asylum-seekers and “stop the boats” crossing the English Channel.

Rishi Sunak’s policy history and cabinet appointments have raised fears of even more benefits cuts and a drastic curtailing of basic rights, says Tanupriya Singh.
Doctors for Assange on Monday implored the British home secretary and the U.S. attorney general to release Julian Assange from “extraordinarily cruel” prison conditions that “imperil” his health.
