🔴 The Government has been granted permission to fight for its Rwanda deportation policy at the Supreme Court
£120m deal with Kigali in which asylum seekers arriving in the UK by methods such as small boats would be deported to RwandaTheir asylum claims would be processed in the East-Central African nation, with the individuals either granted asylum there or deported to their home countries. They would not be flown back to Britain, regardless of the outcome of their application.after a series of eleventh hour legal challenges, with some asylum seekers already on the plane when it was halted.
. The judge ruled that the deportation policy was consistent with the UN Refugee Convention, human rights laws and other legal obligations, and that “the Government has made arrangements with the government of Rwanda which are intended to ensure that the asylum claims of people relocated to Rwanda are properly determined in Rwanda.”
This ruling was challenged by Asylum Aid and the asylum seekers in the Court of Appeal, with a verdict in late June overturning the previous decision and instead finding the policy was unlawful. This was because of a “real risk” that asylum seekers could be wrongly returned to their country of origin despite having legitimate asylum claims, and subsequently face persecution.
