The UK government has initiated a digital advertising campaign in Iraq to deter potential migrants from crossing the English Channel in small boats. This effort follows similar campaigns in Vietnam and Albania. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is focused on cracking down on smuggling gangs involved in these perilous journeys, as recent figures show a high number of migrant arrivals. The campaign aims to counter false narratives spread by criminal groups. Critics argue that such ads may not effectively deter those fleeing persecution, as the situation remains dire for many.
Since taking office in July, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to crack down on the smugglers who enable the dangerous small boat crossings.
Ruthless criminal gangs spread dangerous lies on social media to exploit people for money, and we are exposing them using the real stories of their victims.
