Today's Highlighted Video Story: Poland’s president is among those calling for Ukraine to be granted EU membership, as an estimated 200,000 refugees have crossed into Poland. One couple at the border, originally from Morocco and living in Ukraine, told the BBC how they have spent over 24 hours on a train followed by a 70km walk to reach the border where refugees were separated into different queues, one for Ukrainians and one for non Ukrainians. The couple have now entered Poland.
Focus of the Day Article: The UKHRB is grateful to Aileen McColgan QC for allowing us to republish her article, which originally appeared on Panoptican, a blog published by the barristers at 11KBW here.

The short answer was “yes”. Full story - UK HUman Rights Blog
