The High Court in London this week has allowed an appeal over the British government’s plan to deport migrants to Rwanda. The court granted permission to several asylum seekers who sought to enter the United Kingdom that filed an appeal against the government’s policy.
The country’s High Court has granted a group of asylum seekers to file an appeal against the ruling that went in favor of the British government over its plan to deport migrants that enter the country on small boats to Rwanda. The court determined that the plan was lawful back in December.
The asylum seekers that were granted an appeal were allowed to make such an appeal on various grounds including on the basis that the High Court was wrong to determine that the planned deportations to Rwanda were not “systematically unfair.” The court also granted permission on the grounds of whether the Home Office was entitled to rely on the assurances of Rwanda about the conditions of the asylum seekers that are entering the country.
The British interior ministry said it intends to defend the plan, which is a central part of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s efforts to address illegal migration and the record number of migrants arriving in the country on small boats. The government says the plan would deter human traffickers even as it was criticized by rights groups and even King Charles when it was first announced back in April last year.
In June last year, the European Court of Human Rights made a last-minute ruling that blocked the first planned deportation of migrants to Rwanda, imposing an injunction that would prevent the planned deportations until the legal action in the UK was settled.
On Tuesday, Culture minister Michelle Donelan said legislation was made to make tech companies remove videos that show migrants illegally entering the country in a positive light in a series of reforms that would tighten digital laws in the UK. Donelan said the government plans to amend its Online Safety Bill in order to more effectively address the illegal immigration organized by “organized gangs.”
The amendment will aim to link existing immigration offenses to the posting of videos showing migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats.
