Suella Braverman insisted that Rwanda is a 'safe' country to send refugees
Braverman replied: “Well, as I said, that might be 2018, we're looking at 2023 and beyond.”
“They have nothing but gratitude and thanks for Rwanda for the resettlement scheme that Rwanda has put on for as I say over 100,000 people who are fleeing persecution, fleeing conflict.”Braverman insisted Rwanda has a track record of successful resettlement of refugees and asylum seekers. She added: “Ultimately, they heard out, they listened to the United Nations in evidence in this hearing.“They disagreed with the United Nations' assessment, the United Nations continues to work with Rwanda to resettle thousands of people every year in Rwanda, regardless of those concerns.
She said: “What I will also say is our legislation makes provision for those extreme circumstances whereby if there is something unforeseeable, serious and irreversible harm, someone would be able to challenge the decision."We consider that to be a very outside chance, a very extreme situation, but there's always allowance in the legislation to allow for that.”
