More than half of the migrants who claimed to be victims of modern slavery after crossing the Channel in the first half of last year were Albanian, according to published figures.

Home Office data obtained under freedom of information (FOI) laws shows that 1,156 people registered between January and June 2022. Of these, 591 were Albanians.

About 116 other people who claimed to be victims of modern slavery during this period were from Eritrea, 89 were from Sudan, 71 were from Iran, 69 were from Vietnam and 46 were from Afghanistan. 

Official Home Office figures show that 12,747 migrants crossed the Channel by the end of June last year. This suggests that around 9% of arrivals during that period claimed to be victims of modern slavery.

The number of Albanians who said they were victims of modern slavery in the first six months of 2022 is more than double the figures for the whole of 2021, according to FOI data.

In that year, 218 of the 1,946 people who claimed to be victims of modern slavery were registered by the Home Office and were of Albanian nationality. Other nationalities during that period included 478 Vietnamese, 286 Eritreans, 222 Iranians, 220 Sudanese, 123 Iraqis and 64 Afghans, reports abcnews.al.

The statistics are taken from a live database, so may change as the system is updated, and the numbers are likely to increase at some point as modern slavery can occur, or be reported, at any time, the department said.
