    You realize organizing a charter flight and bribes for Qatar are a lot more expensive than keeping 20-odd people in jail, right?

    Saving money, not giving money to autocracies, and also saving human lives seems like a win-win-win to me.

        Where are you getting 20 years from? Most likely, most of these convictions are either already past or sub-1-year convictions for stealing, drug offences, refugee-specific offences (like leaving town) or random other small shit.
