Britain: protest outside high court against Rwanda deportations

Description

Protesters demonstrate outside the Royal Courts of Justice as UK campaigners get their last chance to stop the government's first flight of asylum seekers to Rwanda. The government is vowing to push ahead with the planeload of 31 claimants, on a chartered flight on Tuesday from an undisclosed airport. But the same groups have filed an emergency appeal alongside a separate legal challenge, and have been heartened by Prince Charles reportedly dubbing the plan "appalling". IMAGES

  • Rwanda relocation 'not a punishment' says Braverman after High Court rules plan is lawful

    UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, says "being relocated to Rwanda is not a punishmentm but an innovative way of addressing a major problem" after judges in the UK's High Court ruled that the government's plan to deport migrants to the central African country was lawful. Speaking in the House of Commons, Braverman explains that "by making it clear that they (refugees) cannot expect to stay in the UK, we will deter more people from coming and make such routes inviable". The controversial partnership was initiated by former PM Boris Johnson in an attempt to curb record numbers of migrants crossing the Channel, and last-gasp legal challenges blocked the departure of its first flight in June.
