Britain cancels a flight that was scheduled to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda after the European Court of Human Rights intervened, saying the plan carried “a real risk of irreversible harm.”
LONDON — Britain canceled a flight that was scheduled to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda late Tuesday after the European Court of Human Rights intervened, saying the plan carried “a real risk of irreversible harm.”
The decision to scrap the Tuesday flight capped three days of frantic court challenges as immigration rights advocates and labor unions sought to stop the deportations. The leaders of the Church of England joined the opposition, calling the government’s policy “immoral.” “Our legal team are reviewing every decision made on this flight and preparation for the next flight begins now,” Patel said.in which people who enter Britain illegally will be deported to the East African country. In exchange for accepting them, Rwanda will receive millions of dollars in development aid. The deportees will be allowed to apply for asylum in Rwanda, not Britain.
Politicians in Denmark and Austria are considering similar proposals. Australia has operated an asylum-processing center in the Pacific island nation of Nauru since 2012.
