联合王国政府正在推出新的《边境安全、庇护和移民法案》,以打击人口走私者。 The UK government is introducing a new Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill to combat people smugglers. 关键措施包括将海上过境期间危及生命定为罪行,最高可判处五年监禁,并允许当局没收移徙者的电话以收集情报。 Key measures include making it an offense to endanger lives during sea crossings, with up to five years in prison, and allowing authorities to seize migrants' phones to gather intelligence. 为走私目的出售或装卸船只零部件的个人可能面临长达14年的监禁。 Individuals selling or handling boat parts for smuggling can face up to 14 years in prison. 尽管有新的法律,但一些现行政策,如拘留儿童和禁止对移民的现代奴隶制保护,仍将保留。 Despite the new laws, some existing policies, such as detaining children and banning modern slavery protections for migrants, will remain in place. 批评者认为,这些措施可能会使危险的过境更加危险。 Critics argue these measures could make dangerous crossings more perilous.
