Campaigners' High Court bid to block government's 'unlawful' plans to send first asylum seekers to Rwanda

Care4Calais says it's aware of round nine Afghans; 35 Sudanese; 18 Syrians; 14 Iranians; 11 Egyptians as well as Iraqi, Pakistani, Albanian Algerian, Chadian, Eritrean, Turkish and Vietnamese people who have been told they could be put on the first flight.Clare Moseley, founder of Care4Calais, said:"We have spoken to nearly 100 people in detention who've been told they will be forcibly sent to Rwanda. Almost all are overwhelmed by total shock and despair.

"Many came to the UK believing it to be a good place that would treat them more fairly than the places from which they escaped. We say that the Rwanda plan is unlawful. We hope the courts will agree with us."Care4Calais, Detention Action and the PCS union have already issued judicial review proceedings and want the lawfulness of the policy tested in court.

The government says it's committed to working with Rwanda to offer safety to those seeking asylum and those recognised as refugees will be given an opportunity to rebuild their lives. Anyone the Home Office considers has taken a dangerous, unnecessary or illegal journey to the UK would meet the criteria for removal apart from lone migrant children who are exempt.

The prime minister's official spokesman said:"We remain confident in our position. Should the legal challenges require us going to the courts we will argue the case.Related Topics

Firstly illegal enrants, secondly our country is at breaking point, our infrastructure, resources, doctors, dentists, schools etc, we are an island and we can only accommodate so many people. Enough is enough now, time for action and this is a solution and deterent.

They start of as illegal immigrants landing on our beaches on banana boats from France and claim asylum the British put them on a plane to Uganda holding centre while their papers are processed and that’s not fair. Charity starts at home, let’s put our own house in order first.

Who is paying the Lawyers,or do they do this work out of the goodness of their hearts?
