A Court of Appeal ruling which found that Government plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda are unlawful was determined “on the basis of evidence” and the judgment did not support or oppose “any political view”, one of the appeal judges said.
In a 161-page judgment on Thursday, Sir Geoffrey Vos, supported by Lord Justice Underhill, found there were “substantial grounds” to think that asylum seekers sent to Rwanda faced “real risks” of torture or inhuman treatment, or that their claims for asylum would not be properly determined in the east African nation.
