Home Office process for sending asylum seekers to Rwanda ‘unlawful and unfair,’ court hears
Demonstrators at a removal centre at Gatwick protest against plans to send migrants to Rwanda
ASYLUM-SEEKERS are at risk of being removed to Rwanda without proper access to justice under a process that is “inherently unlawful and unfair,” the High Court heard today.
Campaigners are challenging the government’s plans to deport asylum-seekers on a one-way ticket to the east African country.
The judicial review, brought by charity Asylum Aid, follows a previous High Court challenge launched by individuals targeted for deportation to Rwanda, campaigners and civil servants’ union PCS said last month.
