UK Appeals Court Deems Plan to Send Asylum Seekers to Rwanda Unlawful
TL;DR Summary
The UK government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda has been ruled unlawful by the Court of Appeal. The court found that there are deficiencies in the Rwandan asylum system that pose a real risk of asylum seekers being returned to their home countries where they face persecution or inhumane treatment. The ruling is seen as a victory for campaigners and asylum seekers, who argued that Rwanda is not a safe third country. The government's policy, which aimed to deter small boat crossings, has been criticized as immoral, ineffective, and costly. The Home Secretary has been urged to focus on fixing the UK's broken migration system instead.
