Britain's migrant deal unlawful as Rwanda is unsafe, lawyers say

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government wants to send thousands of migrants more than 4,000 miles away to Rwanda as part of a 140 million pound deal agreed last year.

"There will only be any form of deterrent effect if a third country to which asylum seekers are removed is one to which they would not wish to go," Husain said, arguing the government had failed to tread the line between deterring migrants and remaining within Britain's human rights obligations. Rwanda says migrants will be treated with respect and dignity and the deal will offer them better opportunities.

"The old flag is an awful reminder of the anguish suffered by millions of people under apartheid South Africa. As stated in the founding affidavit of the South African Human Rights Commission (also an applicant in the Equality Court), the old flag represents precisely that racist and repressive regime and the dehumanising ideologies espoused during its rule - the racial superiority of white South Africans and the corresponding inferiority of black South Africans," Judge Schippers said.
