The UK parliament has recently approved a contentious bill that permits the government to send asylum seekers to Rwanda for their claims to be assessed by the East African nation. The legislation, championed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, aims to deter irregular migration into the United Kingdom, particularly by individuals traveling on dangerous small boats from France, organized by criminal groups.
Despite facing opposition in Parliament and legal challenges, Sunak's efforts to implement the policy have faced setbacks, with the British government having allocated millions of pounds to Rwanda for a scheme that has yet to yield any outcomes. The Supreme Court of the UK previously ruled the policy unlawful due to concerns about the risk of ill-treatment faced by asylum seekers if deported to Rwanda.
