Following Friday’s first approval by the High Court of London for the plan, unions of immigration agents and NGOs Care4Calais and the Detention Action – along with several asylum seekers – tried a second last-minute appeal on Monday against what they deemed an “illegal policy”.

Other NGOs helping refugees, Asylum Assistance, also represents his own actions in fairness. However, like Friday, the court again rejected his argument, giving the executive the green light.

Almost simultaneously, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Filippo Grandi, strongly condemned the project.

Criticism of Prince Charles

Despite the general approval of the plan by the courts, individual appeals on a case-by-case basis were successful in reducing the scale of action.

Of the 31 expulsion candidates listed last week — including Syrians, Iranians, Iraqis, Egyptians and Afghans fleeing the Taliban — “23 have had their tickets to Rwanda canceled” and “eight will still be leaving tomorrow,” he tweeted. Care4Calais.The British government negotiated this plan several months ago with Rwanda, which already has hotels ready to accommodate about 100 migrants.

His authorities initially had to accept 120 million pounds (157 million dollars, 144 million euros) to welcome them and “give them a legal avenue to stay” so they can “settle permanently, if they so desire.” “, according to the foreign minister of African countries, Vincent Biruta.

London’s goal with this system is to prevent the crossing of migrants from the French coast. So far this year, more than 10,000 have arrived in the country illegally by crossing the English Channel on dangerous ships, one of the world’s busiest sea routes.

“But what we are trying to do is stop the business model of criminal gangs taking advantage of people by taking them across the English Channel in unsafe boats, risking their lives,” said Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The prime minister must participate from 20 June in Rwanda in the meeting commonwealthThe British Commonwealth consists of 54 countries.

There he will meet President Paul Kagame, who has ruled the country since the end of the 1994 genocide that killed 800,000 people, and whose government has often been accused of suppressing free speech and political opposition.

Also participating in the meeting was Prince Charles, the 73-year-old heir to the British throne, the newspaper said. Time on Saturday he privately called Johnson’s plan “terrible.”

NGOs are especially terrified of asylum seekers LGTBQ+, after the UK Home Office itself acknowledged its “concern” about the treatment provided to sexual and gender minorities in the African country.

“We are very disappointed, because we still don’t know if this process is legal,” he told the network. BBC Mark Serwotkasecretary general of the PCS union, which groups more than 80% of the UK’s customs system employees.

The union, along with two non-governmental organizations, have appealed to the court to try to immediately freeze flights to Rwanda.

The migrants concerned are “overwhelmed with shock and despair,” Clare Moseley, founder of Care4Calais, said Friday.

“Many come to England and believe that it is a good place that will treat them more fairly than the country from which they fled“, he added. Migration control was one of the main issues in the Brexit campaign, which brought Johnson to power.
