He warned that corridors, lack of life jackets and locked doors could create a “Hillsborough-type crush” and turn it into a “potential death trap”.

The first group of immigrants, which is planned to be placed on the Bibby Stockholm ship, which is prepared for the accommodation of irregular immigrants in England, has started to be brought to Portland Port.

Irregular migrants, who were in the first convoy planned to stay on the docked ship in Portland, located in the Dorset region in the south of the country, were taken from their hotels as of this morning.

While the irregular immigrants who will stay on the ship that docked at Portland Port on July 18 were brought to the port by buses, it was seen that there were a few immigrants on the buses.

On the other hand, pro-immigrant groups living in the area welcomed the new residents of Bibby Stockholm with applause and slogans.

It is planned that 50 male irregular migrants between the ages of 18-65 will be settled in Bibby Stockholm in the first phase and approximately 500 in the long term. Migrants in the first group are expected to be brought in piecemeal today.

Britain had decided to host the immigrants in unused buildings in military facilities and floating structures built on barges to accommodate approximately 50 thousand irregular migrants in the country.

Pro-immigrant NGOs and human rights organizations in the country called Bibby Stockholm a “prison ship”, arguing that it is “inhumane” to accommodate refugees on ships.
