"Controversial Court Ruling in Rwanda Raises Questions for UK Government's Deportation Plan"

The Court of Appeal in the UK has ruled that the government has broken the law by claiming that Rwanda is a safe country for asylum seekers. The court found that Rwanda's asylum system is so poor that sending individuals there would breach their right not to be tortured or subjected to inhuman treatment. The government plans to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, but it must first convince the judges to grant permission. The ruling has implications for the government's proposed Illegal Migration Bill, which would require the home secretary to send most asylum seekers who cross the English Channel to third countries. Time is running out as the case may not be considered until the end of the year or early 2024, potentially impacting a General Election.
