Deportation of Asylum Seekers to Rwanda Found Illegal in Court of Appeal

The UK Government’s controversial immigration policy, aimed at relocating migrants to Rwanda during the processing of their asylum claims, has been declared unlawful by the Court of Appeal on June 29th, 2023. Ten appellants from various countries and the charity Asylum Aid launched an appeal against their proposed removal to Rwanda, arguing that it may not be a “safe third country” and could lead to potential harm for those with valid asylum claims.
