Suella Braverman, Britain's India-origin minister defends deportation plan as 'humanitarian and compassionate' during her visit to Kigali as thousands protest in UK against govt decision to send thousands of asylum seekers more than 6,400 km to Rwanda
Anti-racism protesters in the British capital carried signs reading"no human being is illegal" and"Safe passage, not Rwanda".
Braverman spoke alongside Rwandan Foreign Minister Vincent Biruta, who said the move "will not only help dismantle criminal human-smuggling networks, but also save lives". It is seeking to outlaw asylum claims by all "illegal arrivals" and transfer them to "safe" third countries, such as Rwanda, in a bid to stop thousands of refugees and migrants from crossing the English Channel on small boats.
But that plan, announced by former prime minister Boris Johnson last year, was blocked at the last minute by the European Court of Human Rights , which is separate to the EU.
