UK's Controversial Plan to Send Asylum Seekers to Rwanda Sparks Parliamentary Showdown and Public Scrutiny

Britain's Parliament is set to vote on a law that would send asylum seekers who cross the English Channel to claim asylum to Rwanda, a country over 4,000 miles away. The proposed legislation aims to deter illegal migration routes, but critics argue that it sets a dangerous precedent and violates human rights. The vote follows delays, resignations, and legal challenges. If passed, the legislation could still face obstacles in the House of Lords. The British government has already paid Rwanda $300 million for the asylum scheme, despite no deportations having taken place yet. Critics argue that the money could be better spent addressing poverty and basic needs in Rwanda.
