A last minute intervention by the European Court of Human Rights blocked the British government from sending a plane carrying failed asylum seekers to Rwanda. Amid the contraversial migrant deal signed between London and Kigali, a recent report published by the Washington-based think-tank Freedom House, has called out Rwanda as one of the worst perpetrators of transnational repression.
On Tuesday, last-ditch court appeals hoping to stop the deportation of asylum-seekers in the UK to Rwanda were denied, giving the British government the green light to go ahead with the expulsions.
