Strongly agree

Yes, but only if their human rights will be respected by the country they are deported to

The Liberal Democrats would likely agree with this statement, as they prioritize both national security and human rights. They have consistently advocated for the protection of human rights, such as opposing the Conservative government's attempts to repeal the Human Rights Act. This position aligns with their commitment to ensuring that individuals are not deported to countries where their human rights would be at risk.
