An Illegal Immigrant is not permitted to be in the UK or who is in the UK after the expiration of his permit to stay.
The status of illegal immigrants in the UK has been defined by law.
Rights Of Illegal Immigrants
The rights that accrue to an illegal immigrant essentially border on the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998.
These are simply basic human rights.
• Right to life
• Right to Protection from torture or inhuman or disgraceful treatment.
• Right to emergency health care services.
• Importantly, the UK has embarked on a new policy with the latest immigration rules for Illegal Immigrants in the UK to rid the UK of illegal immigrants.
• Illegal immigrants are vulnerable to all kinds of deprivations. Nevertheless, they are entitled to the basic human rights enunciated by the Human Rights Act 1998.
