在英國國家邊境署開展的一系列強制行動中，數十名中國公民被逮捕，現在面臨著被遣返回國的處置。 |
| The enforcement operations took place over the past eight weeks as part of a planned nationwide operation by the UK Border Agency to tackle illegal working, sham marriages, bogus colleges, people smuggling and other organised immigration crime. |
這一系列強制行動是在過去八周中進行的，是英國國家邊境署一個計劃性全國行動的一部分，該行動意在打擊非法勞工、假結婚、造假院校、販賣人口和其他有組織的移民犯罪等。 |
| Most of the 73 arrests were made during raids on factories, restaurants and construction sites across the UK. The individuals were arrested for a variety of immigration offences including working in breach of visa conditions, overstaying visas, entering the country illegally and failure to leave the UK after unsuccessful asylum claims. |
被逮捕的73人中，絕大多數人都是在對英國各地的工廠、餐館和建筑工地的突擊中被查出的。被逮捕的人中，有著各種各樣的移民犯罪行為，包括在違反簽證條件的情況下工作、簽證過期居留、以非法方式進入英國以及在申請庇護失敗后未離開英國等。 |
| The offenders are being held in detention awaiting deportation. The businesses have been issued with warnings and they face paying a fine of up to ￡10,000 for every illegal worker they employ, unless they can prove they carried out the correct right-to-work checks. |
這些違法者現正被拘留，等待被遣返。雇傭他們的企業已經被警告，如果不能證明企業曾進行過正確的工作權檢查的話，就要面臨每個非法勞工最多罰款10,000英鎊的懲罰。 |

| Another operation, at Aroma Restaurant in Luton on July 21st, caught five Chinese nationals, who attempted to run from the rear of the premises. However, they did not get further than the back door where they were apprehended by Bedfordshire Police officers, who were supporting the operation. Three failed asylum seekers were amongst those arrested in this raid. |

| In a separate incident a failed Chinese male asylum seeker made a last minute dash for freedom when he realised he was to be detained. The 39-year-old tried to avoid arrest by running into the sea at Torquay fully clothed, pursued by police officers. He was later hauled on to a boat, arrested and put in immigration detention, while a seat on a flight to Shanghai could be booked. |
