Dear Milady Renoir,
This edition of the IRR Newsletter is published as the number of people who
have lost their lives attempting to cross the Channel since 1999 surpasses
- Within the last nine days four more people have tragically died
attempting the crossing. Highlighted in our calendar of racism and
resistance

is
the devastating story of a seven-year-old girl who died

attempting to reach the UK on board a small dinghy carrying sixteen people,
predominantly children, and including her pregnant mother, her father and
three siblings.
The dangers people face attempting to make ‘small boat crossings’ are a
direct result of the UK government’s deterrent policy that has removed safe
and legal routes of entry and criminalises people on the move – a fact
explored in the powerful commentary

by researcher Vicky Taylor, published last week on IRR News
https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0yNDMwNjk2NjE4NjQzNjkwODY1JmM9YzR1NyZlPTE5MjgmYj0xMjkzMTMwNTE4JmQ9djZ5Nm0xYw==.ZOTfeqHn92hpyVy0gekKXH7LFE1WliyPp4ikOv-moqE.
Taylor draws on her recently published report

on the criminalisation of people arriving to the UK on ‘small boats’ and
highlights the conviction of Ibrahima Bah on charges of ‘gross negligence
manslaughter’ – the first such conviction in the UK – for the drowning of
at least four people when the boat he unwillingly piloted capsized.
Ibrahima was a teenager who saw his friend die in the Channel, as well as
up to eight others, in December 2022, and maintains that he only steered
the boat after being threatened and assaulted by those organising the
crossing. In his sentencing, Mr Justice Johnson recognised that Ibrahima
‘played no part in the organisation of the trip’. He is a ‘scapegoat

for deaths caused by the border and its securitisation’. As Taylor argues,
the criminalisation of people crossing borders in search of safety will not
‘stop the boats’ or the deaths associated with these dangerous journeys.
This week’s calendar reveals
https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0yNDMwNjk2NjE4NjQzNjkwODY1JmM9YzR1NyZlPTE5MjgmYj0xMjkzMTMwNTIxJmQ9bjB1MXE2cQ==.90zJ4fEmwGrpMg5cwUXlizQIEMIwheXywH96asLF2qU
that the coastguard failed to attempt to rescue at least nine Channel boats
containing children in the days leading up to the disaster of November 2021
in which 27 passengers drowned.
Also in the calendar

we cover the Court of Appeal’s dismissal of Shamima Begum’s appeal against
the deprivation of her citizenship, and the Islamophobic frenzy whipped up
by politicians around the pro-Palestinian marches, leading to proposals for
yet further curtailment of protest and assembly rights.

In light of Ibrahima Bah’s conviction, Vicky Taylor discusses how
prosecutions, and the scapegoating of individuals for deaths in the
Channel, which are systemic to the British border regime, must end.
