The UK is quietly ejecting Syrian refugees back to the EU countries they first arrived in, and is making it progressively harder for Syrians to enter the UK legally, lawyers say.

As the UN makes plans to try to funnel more Syrians from overwhelmed southern European countries to the richer north, official UK figures show more than 30 people were removed from the UK in a 12-month period to mid-2014; visa approvals, meanwhile, have fallen from about 70% in 2010 to less than 40% last year.
