An Albanian woman studying to be a lawyer in Manchester has said: "We are not all criminals."
Marinela Bouzo, 27, has hit out after home secretary Suella Braverman said 'Albanian criminals' helped migrants cross the Channel during a debate. Last year, 12,000 Albanian migrants arrived in the UK on small boats - more than from any other country.
Hundreds have recently been returned back to their homeland under a Government ‘gold-standard’ deal with Albania. However, Marinela, who moved to the UK in her twenties, says the majority of Albanians are hardworking individuals who contribute positively to society.

Marinela said: "Whether it’s coming from Suella Braverman or anyone else, it’s important not to generalise an entire group of people based on the actions of a few individuals.
"While on the whole my experiences in England have been positive, I’ve had comments here and there and some people still negatively judge when I tell them my family is Albanian.
"I have encountered individuals as young as 14 and 15 who have arrived in the UK as victims of criminal gangs and promised a brighter future, only to find themselves trapped in the clutches of modern slavery.
"There are also families who strive for a better life, seeking employment and opportunities in the UK because their home country lacks the avenues for growth.
"Desperate to escape their circumstances, they embark on illegal journeys, risking their lives for a chance at a future they cannot find within their own borders, showing the lengths they are willing to go for their loved ones."
She added "We’re not all criminals, but sometimes we’re treated like them."

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent “God Is a Woman,” a doc by Swiss-Panamanian filmmaker Andrés Peyrot about Pierre Dominique Gaisseau’s 1975 journey to Panama to make a film on the island-dwelling Kuna people — whose women play a unique and sacred role — will open the Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week. The section’s out-of-competition opener reconstructs the legend of this film that was passed down from the elders to the new Kuna generation, but never made it to the screen. Gaisseau, a French explorer and filmmaker who won an Oscar in 1961 for the doc “The Sky Above, the Mud Below,” lived with the Kuna people on a Panamanian island for a year and filmed their most intimate ceremonies. He then promised to return with the film, but never did. He ran out of funding and a bank confiscated his reels, which Peyrot unearthed 50 years later.

Jordyn Palos Not many publicists will talk about the strikes – especially not publicly. It is our job to stay in the background and navigate the public-facing and oftentimes private worlds of the talent we represent. It’s a career that I have loved for nearly two decades. Publicists are paid a fee to deliver impactful campaigns that can move the needle for our clients’ careers, but my journey is much deeper than media placement, making sure that photo approvals are completed, or ensuring that a plane arrives on time for an overseas premiere. Representation is a responsibility, and not one that I take lightly. In 2010, I launched Persona PR out of my apartment with no larger agency experience and have worked to build my business from the ground up. As my company has expanded over the years, I have grown into more than a talent representative, and am now a full-fledged business owner, taking on employees and their livelihoods and wellbeing. I work to be a great partner for the companies we share business with, aspire to be a mentor to publicists coming up-the-ranks and became a wife and a mother to two children, as Persona PR has grown.
