UK’s plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda deemed unlawful

In the ongoing legal dispute surrounding the contentious deportation policy to Rwanda, the British government has recently suffered a setback .

The Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of a collective of individuals who arrived in the UK via small boats, as well as an asylum charity, who have contended that the policy is illegal.

A panel consisting of three judges reached a divided decision on whether Rwanda meets the criteria as a “safe third country” for processing UK asylum cases, with two judges determining that it does not. It is anticipated that the government will likely challenge this ruling in the Supreme Court.
