Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
CAMPAIGNERS and trade unionists have vowed to continue fighting the Tories’ morally reprehensible Rwanda policy after the High Court ruled that the plans are lawful.
On Monday, judges dismissed an application from asylum-seekers, charities and civil servants’ union PCS to stop the Tory government from carrying out its deportation agreement with the African country.
Rights groups responded with dismay, describing the decision as a “dark day for the rights of the most vulnerable.”
