Dozens of migrants taken to Dover after more than 30 hours at sea
Dozens of migrants who spent over 30 hours at sea were transported to Dover after initially being reported to be heading to Hampshire. The vessel departed from the Normandy coast, where French coastguard officials noted the passengers were in precarious conditions but refused assistance. Protesters gathered in the town of Gostport in anticipation of the arrival, resulting in six arrests after the crowd became hostile toward police.
- ▪The migrant boat departed from the Normandy coast on Monday morning and was tracked by French coastguard for over 33 hours.
- ▪British rescue boats and the RNLI assisted in removing the migrants from the vessel due to concerns about their deteriorating health.
- ▪Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage successfully lobbied the Home Office to redirect the boat to Dover instead of the Portsmouth area.
- ▪Six people were arrested in Gostport after protesters became hostile toward officers during the gathering.
- ▪The crossing originated from Vierville-sus-Mer, a location significantly further west than typical small boat departure points.
